Using ACS to access the IFS

Hello all,

I'm attempting to try some options that will steer us away from using the QDLS file system. I'm looking at creating directories in the root file system and was playing around with how ACS accesses the IFS. It seems to be REALLY slow. These directories I'm looking at creating will be ones that we will want the users to have access to, so of course we will have to lock them down authority-wise, but if I can't get around the slowness of the IFS access in ACS I'm not sure it's an option. I can of course, map a drive through Windows. I wondered what everyone's thoughts were on the best method of access. Right now we have a lot of programs that will run reports that email a CSV file to a user. But we will run into issues where they don't email for whatever reason. So the thought was that an alternative is to just park the file in a directory on the IFS where the email communication isn't necessary. But we also want to have something where speed isn't an issue. And I'd rather try to get away from having to map drives on everyone's machines if I can help it. What's everyone out there doing for this kind of functionality? All responses are, as always, greatly appreciated.
