My memory says that the easiest way to transfer data from my PC to an iSeries is to first download the empty target file down to my PC, save the definition file, and then upload the data using that definition file.

Trying this with ACS allows me to download but not to save the definition file so I can't upload. Does this work for others? Is there a better way?

Also, I tried drag and drop with RDi. Didn't work. Tried copy & paste with RDI. CSV file did not work, TXT file was properly created but no data was transferred.
