Another thought...

You can drop and drag pc files that you have to a mapped drive and
it retains it's original format.

The only requirement is a mapped drive on your pc.

I also forgot to ask: why put it on the I to begin with if you don't want it
in I format ?

Is it possible to upload dbase files directly to the i without
converting the data to another format?

The option does not exist in the iSeries Access choices.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I am receiving a set of data from a client in .dbf format each month and
would like to minimize the conversions if possible.
