Given that:
1) You can successfully scan from the copier to a folder on a Windows server
and
2) The message that is issued when attempting to do the same to a folder in
the IFS,
It appears to me that perhaps the copier is not successfully signing on to
the iSeries and thus the folder in the IFS is not available to the
application running on the copier. Perhaps one of your network guys can use
Wireshark or some other packet-tracing software to confirm this.

Have you ever used the QNTC file system from the iSeries? To access shared
folders on Windows servers from the iSeries you must specify
/QNTC/WindowsServerName/FolderName. To see a given Windows server under
QNTC, it may be necessary to create a link to it.
For example:
MD '/QNTC/ServerA'
If you type WRKLNK '/QNTC/ServerA' from the command line, you should be able
to see the shared folders on the network server ServerA.
NOTE: This requires that you have userid and password on the Windows server
that exactly matches your iSeries user id & password.
If you receive error CPFA0A9 (Object not found. Object is /QNTC/servera.),
then you don't have the link to the windows server set up on the iSeries
system.

I will respond to several posts.
Thank you Charles for identifying that what I had mentioned in my post is
correct. I was hoping I was clearing in stating what I was trying to
accomplish. I apologize if terms that we use here in our shop may have
caused confusion in my post.
Yes, my shared folder is on the IFS on the iSeries. Now I will be honest
with you I am not familiar with all the little idiosyncrasies surrounding
the IFS, but I am familiar enough with it on setting up a folder, setting up
shares and writes to that folder. I have written files directly to the IFS
from other applications and it works fine under those circumstances.
Yes, I need to be able to scan directly into the folder that is already
established in the IFS.
To answer Scott's question on the type of error when I try to scan it states
that "Job Failed to Complete. No Specified Folder". This job is running
from a Konica copier. We set up a test folder on the network and the copier
was able to scan into this test folder.
The server name and folder name are correct.
The ERP system that we are using to attach documents is Infor XA (aka
MAPICS) and when trying to use \QNTC means nothing to Infor XA.
I have been told by the network manager that the following are out of the
question:
Scan to email (which does work) - they are concerned that the user will not
clean up the email box once moving the file to the IFS
Scan using FTP - our external auditors that run scans are concerned about
FTP which they are relating to PCI compliance. I was able to FTP into this
same folder.
In posting I was hoping that somebody might be able to point me to the right
direction or pinpoint what step I may have forgotten.
