RE: USB Optical on Power 7+ V7R1

Would this work.
Map a drive to the root.
Plug the USB into your PC.

From your PC, copy / paste the folder from the mapped drive to the USB drive.

Subject: USB Optical on Power 7+ V7R1

How to tell what capacity limits there are for saving files (image files) to a USB for V7R1.
I've read multiple docs (IBM and others) - some mention a 32gb limit others don't.
IBM doc
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20Removable%20Media%20on%20IBM%20i/page/Attaching%20USB%20Flash%20Drives%20to%20IBM%20i
has a comment from user at end "For USB 3.0 devices the 32GB max capacity restriction was removed with 7.2 PTF MF63610 and 7.3 PTF MF63611".

The current 7.1 to 7.2 ptf cross reference has no 7.1 version of MF63610.

We need to move 4.6TB of images (approx. 1 million) to diff kind of system (unix or win) across the country and our network people won't let us xmit that much. We did get approved to use USB..
Other option is to copy to local win...
