Re: Creating a new folder on the 'I' Drive

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Your reference to an "I" drive takes me back to the time of PC Support 
where shared folders were used to store and access documents in QDLS.  
It was slow and buggy and difficult to use. These days just sharing a 
folder in the IFS and using "Map Network Drive" in windows is the 
easiest way to handle access to folders in the IFS.

You have two things to do.  One is to use iSeries Navigator an establish 
a share to a folder, or the root, of the IFS.  Start the iSeries 
Navigator and then click on "File Systems" and then "Integrated File 
System", select the Root  folder, find a folder with in the root to 
share and right click to select "Sharing --> New Share".  Once you have 
a share (make sure it is read/write), you can either use Windows 
Explorer to create the folder within the share or you can always use the 
mkdir command at the iSeries command line to create a new folder in the IFS.

If you really do want to use QDLS and use the old shared folders, it has 
been so long since I have done that I can't give you much counsel.  I 
also don't know if that approach is still supported.
