Re: Alternatives to QNTC

Ummm.... not to rain on this lovely parade, but...

NFS should only be used within your own protected network (i.e. two machines on a trusted LAN behind a firewall, over a VPN, or similar.)

NFS is very old and not very secure. So please be sure you are running it within a trusted environment.

I don't understand why SMB was a "slam dunk" within your Windows domain, but not outside of it? Is it because you have different userid/password on the IBM i vs. the Windows server?

NFS?

Have them export a share. And then you MOUNT this share over a dummy
directory.

For example on one IBM i I export a share
then on another IBM i I mount it using:
MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('gdihq:/tmp') +
MNTOVRDIR('/gdihq/tmp') +
OPTIONS('rw,suid,retry=5,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,+
timeo=20,retrans=5,acregmin=30,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,+
acdirmax=60,soft,async,sec=sys,vers=3:2,nocache')

In summary the remote machine does an export called tmp
I created a dummy directory called /gdihq/tmp on my local machine (done
outside of the above command).
Then this command mounts that export over that dummy directory.
