RE: file:// link not working unless already signon to the share folder

["Lim Hock-Chai" <Lim.Hock-Chai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is a batch job that sends a completion email to the user.  The link
is in the body of the email.  
Since it is via email and it is a batch job, I don't think STRPCCMD is
an option for me. 

Uummm, HTTP.  We use jBoss as app server.  Anybody know what I need to
do to open up HTTP access to a file in IFS?

Is this link being sent via a web browser?   Or via 5250?  Or.. how does

this link get from the i to PC?

Can you use STRPCCMD to log on to the folder prior to sending the URL? 
Would that work in your scenario?

Alternately, can you change the URL to use HTTP instead of local file
access?
