Richard -

If you have Netserver running and the PC server is in the same subnet and
domain as the AS/400, then you can copy files directly to shared folders on
the PC server using CPYTOSTMF.

You'll need to use the MD command on the AS/400 to create a link to the
shared folder on the PC server so that you can use CPYTOSTMF or CPYTOIMPF to
copy the file directly to the shared folder on the PC server.

IIRC, the copy command must be run by a user profile that exists on both
systems (AS/400 and PC server) with the same userid/password on _both_
systems for the authentication to work properly...
