I am trying to get a customer hosted on our IBM I and in order for them to
view an image, they have to read a file via UNC from their remote PC that
exists on our IBM I in a shared folder that allows guest access. Their IT
will not allow guest access via the firewall. The only way I can get it to
work is to map a drive to the shared folder and set it up with the IBM I
credentials that exists on our hosted IBM i. But I know mapped drives can
be a security risk. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I cannot run a CL
program with hijacked security because this is a windows function. There
are hundreds of users and it would not be feasible to add them to the
security on the guest shared folder. I see searching the internet you can
create a shortcut or set the path up in quick access. But do not see any
way to force that to use the IBM I credentials.


Live-replicate the files yourself to somewhere your customers can access.
Google Drive? DropBox? etc.
