Re: Transfer files between Power i and local Win servers

[Jim Franz <franz9000@xxxxxxxxx>]

no drag and drop - all automated (but user may click an icon to execute a
batch stream). Others are batch processes originating on Power i and either
put or get from Win.
The mapped drives were a way for some win products to push/get Power i IFS
files - but most of that is replaced - one more to go..
