Access Remote iSeries IFS
I would like to access a remote iSeries IFS directories from my local iSeries. Is there an easy way to do this? Essentially I want to be able to pull up a directory on Server B from Server A.
Thanks in advance.

I originally attempted to use the /QFileSvr.400 - but when I try to access it, it tells me:
Not authorized to object. Object is /QFileSvr.400/ASCOR001.
My username/password is exactly the same on both my LOCAL and REMOTE server. I even reset both passwords to make 100% sure.
Is there something else going on?
Thanks

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Note that /QNTC (or even NFS) might be a better choice than /QFileSvr.400... maybe. I use /QFileSvr.400 often, but I have full control of my network and can set all needed elements.

Using qntc for i-2-i file system access seems - I don't know - morally wrong? Seriously, though, that's a workable approach, as is nfs.

It turns out the PWDLVL was different between the two servers. All of our production servers are at PWDLVL 2 - but our development server is still at PWDLVL 0. We have been meaning to switch from 0 to 2 on our development server - guess this gives us a good reason to do that.
Thanks for your help!

Of course you need a system name that can be resolved and connectivity. You also need to have the same credentials on both systems (user ID and password).

Can you ping the remote system from your local system?
And if the credentials issue presents a problem, then you might want to look at sFTP as another alternative.
