Eric,

Actually, NetServer became available in V4R2.

     Ron,
     
     Starting in V4R3, you can start netserver to share 
     folders/directories/libraries/printers/etc. This feature makes the 
     AS400 available to Network Neighborhood as if the AS400 was a 
     Windows server. Works like a charm. As a matter of fact, if you're 
     using CA Express, you're already using netserver, since there is NO 
     shared folder support in Express.

Hi All,
     
We have a requirement to pass files from the 400 directly to PC's (and 
back) without using Client Access (or Express). We know we could use FTP 
but that adds a layer of complexity in that we would need to know the 
TCP/IP address of each PC ahead of time. Every time a new PC was added at a 
clients site, we would have to somehow know the new TCP/IP address of that 
PC. This doesn't seem workable (but maybe someone has some ideas?).
     
Currently, we are using CPYTOPCD to the IFS and mapping a drive to get it 
to the PC. But you can't map a drive without cliend access.
     
Any ideas? How about what manuals to describe the process (or is it really 
easy and we are just dense?).
