Hi JK,

Yes, QNTC is what I'm referring to.

Using CPY was my first choice, but most of the trade journal articles and
threads I researched yesterday seemed to focus on using QNTC to pass files
between the IFS and a local PC, rather than a Windows share somewhere on a
corporate network. That's why I started researching NFS.

I don't understand the distinction between 'local PC' and 'Windows share on a network'. In both cases it's using a network to access a Windows share, right?!

If you're able to open it from Windows as:

\\some_server\some_share_name\folder_name\file_name.txt

Then you should also be able to access it from i as:

/QNTC/some_server/some_share_name/folder_name/file_name.txt

The only other caveat, is that the system will try to use the same user/pass that you have logged in to OS/400 to access the Windows server. In an automated process, however, this is not usually a big deal. Just create a special userid/pass for that process that matches the name/pass on the server. That's a much better idea than using an actual employee's signon anyway...

Then it's just a matter of using CPY (or COPY or QShell cp) to copy the file from the server's share to the /home directory where you want it.
