Re: Mapping Shared IFS folders to Mac

Richard,

I'm running the latest incarnation of High Sierra (10.13.6)

Going to update to the latest version but waiting a few weeks more ...

I do use RDi and I do compile from it. But it has really no relevance to the question at hand as not all the files I want to access original from RDi developed code.

I am generating Excel spreadsheets (at the moment) and want a mapped drive to avoid having to copy the files. I could add Excel as an external app in RDi but I'm looking for a solution that won't force me to do that for every file type that I generate on the IBM i now and in the future.

Does that answer your questions?

Even if your machine is 8yrs old it should run a newer version of MacOS.

I was testing from a 2011 Macbook Air.

You also never answered the RDI question. Why not use RDI if you're doing IBM i compiling ?

I know it _should_ Scott. But it doesn't work.

I get the errors noted previously. It is very odd because it appears to partially work (i.e. it will seek authentication etc.) but then fails with a message indicating that the connection type is not accepted at all.
