Mount network drive on iSeries

[dpol...@gmail.com]

Hi,

is there a way to mount a network drive from a Windows server to an
iSeries server? I know the vice-verse solution but I need this one.
Google this time wasn't my friend... ;)

Thank you very much.

Google QNTC.

Thanks, I've found these:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/ifs/rzaaxqntcvariables.htm
http://www.ariadnesoftware.co.uk/IFS.htm#QNTC

but I can't connect.
I've tried
1. created the required envvars
2. MKDIR DIR('/QNTC/192.168.0.101/')
3. WRKLNK OBJ('/QNTC/*')

if I try MKDIR DIR('/QNTC/192.168.0.101/MyFolder') where MyFolder is
an existing folder on that server.
I get:
Object not found. Object is /QNTC/192.168.0.101/MyFolder.
With the message:

MyFolder.

Cause . . . . . : Object /QNTC/192.168.0.101/MyFolder, or a

object path, could not be found, or its type cannot be resolved by

Recovery . . . : Correct the name or specify an object of the
correct type.
To determine if the object exists, use the Work with Object Links
(WRKLNK)
command. If the name exists, check the type of the object. If the
name
contains symbolic link objects, ensure the path names they resolve
to exist.
Retry the
operation.

You AS/400 user I'D has to match one on the PC for one thing. I'm not
sure what software resources the AS/400 needs to use QNTC, but maybe
you don't have what's needed.

Maybe someone here with more experience with QNTC will answer.

Are you talking you want to use NFS or NETSERVER??

[Interstellar]

NETSERVER

Make sure your netserver is started. Fire up iseries navigator, look
for file systems, then file shares. Right mouse click on file shares
and open iseries netserver. From there right click shared objects and
then select file new, the rest should be self explanatory.

[Margaret Fenlon]

In order to use QNTC, you need to define shares on the server, just like you
do to use NetServer on the IBM i from your Windows client. So in the
example, MyFolder must be shared from the Windows server.

Also as someone else mentioned, QNTC must authenticate the user on the
Windows server, so either the userid and password must match, or you must be
use network authentication services.

Did you determine which object in the path is not found? Does WRKLNK
'/QNTC/*' show the IP address? If not, then perhaps your mkdir failed. If
MyFolder isn't found, then it is likely that isn't shared.
