Re: Mount IFS directory over Windows share

I think you are going the wrong direction - what you are doing will give an iSeries the ability to see files on the Windows machine. It sounds like you want a Windows box to see the install images for Client Access.

Those are always available - just turn on Netserver with STRTCPSVR *NETSVR or go into iSeries Navigator and rummage around to Network and Servers or some such.

Then from your PC, the install image is at \\your-iseries-ip-addr\qibm\proddata\access\install\images

if I remember rightly
