Re: Access non-ibm file server fils from iseries

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim

Since NT files are the same as IFS files, I have to ask how you plan 
to deal with them without using IFS. Yes, I CAN think of a way to get 
data files into physical files - FTP - if that is what you need to 
do, then that will work. You have to set up an FTP server on the NT 
box. This has its own can of worms to deal with.

So I must press you to re-evaluating the IFS statement - there are 2 
options. One is QNTC, which directly works with file shares on an NT 
server. The other is NFS shares - network file system shares. These 
also require installation of a component on the NT box, but it comes 
free from Microsoft. It performs much better than QNTC.

Please tell us more - it is hard to help when information is limited.
