Re: IFS files transfer with iACS

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stop looking at "Data Transfer" for dealing with IFS.  Data Transfer is for
the /qsys.lib file system.  Or what some may call the library/file system.
If you're initiating the transfer from a PC then set up a mapped drive by
going into "Navigator for i", File Systems, Integrated File System and
create a share you can simply copy from.
If you're initiating the transfer from IBM i then create a share on the
target and from your IBM i you can use the CPY command to copy to
/QNTC/MYPC/MYSHARE/... after running MD '/QNTC/MYPC'
