RE: AS400 - PC without Client Access

[Scott Mildenberger <Smildenber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you use Net Server I believe you can share the directories from the 400
and the PC's can then map a network drive to it.  I haven't used Net Server
yet but from what I understand you should be able to do this without using
any Client Access.
