Re: how to send files from Iseries to pc network folder

First of all, "drive T:" means nothing...that drive mapping is
distinct to a user's PC. While you may have a network share mapped as
"drive T" I could have the same share mapped as "drive J"...

The important thing is to know the "Universal Naming Convention" (or
UNC) path which is
\\pcservername\sharename

Windows uses a file sharing protocol known as Server Message Block (or SMB)

QNTC is the IBM i's SBM client interface, so you can use it to connect
to Windows network shares

If I've got a Windows PC named MYWINSERVER that has a file share named
MYCOOLFILES, then I can access the files in that share by using
\\MYWINSERVER\MYCOOLFILES

in Windows (try doing a start-->run )

or from the i
/QNTC/MYWINSERVER/MYCOOLFILES

try using WRKLNK '/QNTC/MYWINSERVER/MYCOOLFILES/*'

depending on how the i is configured, your existing windows servers
may not have been auto discovered. So you might need to
mkdir '/QNTC/MYWINSERVER'

before you can see the server and its shares.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Appreciate the help.

I haven't ever used the QNTC structure before so it will take somemore
learning on my part.

Right now, I'm wondering how this gets me to a pc network folder, like on
drive  T:  where a lot of our existing folders reside?
I haven't quit got the connection on how this works.

CPY OBJ('/mydir/myfile.pdf') TODIR('/qntc/pcserver/sharename/')
