Re: Network file share

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

First off, I wouldn't expect to see with WRKLNK '\\qs1015362a\REMIT835' as
that is the SMB name and WRKLNK doesn't understand it.  You'd need to use
the actual pacth name such as '/edi/REMIT835'

Second, in order to create a file, the user must have write access to the
folder.

I'd check the authorities on the folder.

But you seem to indicate that it used to work till the user upgraded to
Win7.

I suspect that the user is no longer being authenticated with her
own credentials and instead is using the Netserver guest profile.

What version and release of IBM i?
