Re: Mapping Shared IFS folders to Mac

Thanks for the advice Jack - but I have enough editors in my life already and editing is not the objective.

I want to be able to ope the generated spreadsheets, csv, json, etc. files on the Mac.

I'm confused by your EBCDIC comment since the files aren't EBCDIC. They are (mostly) 819 or 1208. And come through perfectly on the NFS mount.

Yes - no problems. As noted earlier connecting has not been an issue as
such - it is getting the mount completed that is the issue.

The NFS and SSHFS both appear to be working but as noted in my last
missive - the text files as viewed through the SSHFS connection are screwed
up. The NFS ones on the other hand are fine.

IBM i NFS does EBCDIC translation. sshfs does no translation, all data is
treated as binary.

You just have to be set up on the Mac to deal with EBCDIC. Use jEdit !!!!!!
As shown in this screenshot

Or you have to deal with it on the IFS side, e.g., (GNU - get it with yum)
iconv -f IBM037 -t ISO8859-1 myfile.ebcdic >myfile.ascii
