NetServer: Serving file shares from your IBM i. Works ok. This OS isn't
the fastest for stream file serving but it works.
QNTC: A method for IBM i to consume shares served from other platforms.
Lots of people using it. Has some of the strangest quirks that make it a
"your results may be unreliable". For example, if someone creates a share
on a windows PC with a name longer than ?14? characters and even if the
share you're trying to access is only 8 characters just the fact that a
larger share exists your results may not be reliable. Amazingly enough
the same problem also plagues the Z os. A DCR to get IBM to fix this was
flat out rejected.
NFS: IBM i can either serve NFS (see EXPORTFS) or consume NFS served by
other platforms (see MOUNT). See also STRNFSSVR.
