Re: IFS File Share

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Navigator does not use NetServer to give you access to the IFS, whereas 
that is needed to see the IFS in Win Explorer. So they won't behave the 
same, always.

Check that your share is defined with all capabilities - it might be read-only.

As someone else said, the term used is a little confusing. A folder on the 
400 was historically used for documents and other things in QDLS, true. But 
in Windows it is synonymous with directory, and it COULD be use, IMO, as a 
synonym for directoy when speaking of the non-library portion of the IFS. 
Perhaps not recommended, however. And file share is a Windows networking 
term, as you probably know. You need to define file shares on NT boxes, to 
enable access to them from other computers.
