Got it.

Wasn’t sure if you were running a MacOS version that would support RDI.

I saw a couple related samba issues for older versions of MacOs.

Without access to your IBMi machine to try it, it’s hard to say what might be causing the issues.

Your version of MacOs definitely matches mine.
Have you tried it with your wife’s Mac or doesn’t she let you touch it ? 😊

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?

I don't know if I ever saw info on what Mac OS version are you running ?

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.
