The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Not for the faint of heart, but you could install the SAMBA server in the PASE environment and then use the smbclient app to send/receive files to Windows shares.
You can use the smbclient independently of QNTC.

subject: IBM i access to Windows folders
I have looked at using QNTC for this, but it looks like it won't work. I know this can be done, but am not sure of the specifics.
I have an RPG program that creates a spool file. The RPG is called using a CL. The RPG creates a PDF of the spool file, and stores it on the IFS.
I want to be able to copy that PDF to a folder on a windows server using the CL. This process will run interactively at first, but could run in batch down the road. The process may also have to run in the S36 environment too.
We are on V7R3 and are fairly current on PTFs.
I have tried multiple times using QNTC and it seems I am getting an authority message. From reading other's posts, it appears QNTC does not handle mixed case passwords, which we use and would need I can connect to this folder using windows explorer, and my IBM i user ID and password, so I believe my authority is set correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work? I remember at a prior job, our iSeries had a few commands in the startup program that mapped the windows folders and they could be accessed via iSeries jobs, but I don't remember the specifics.
Thank you,
