C.1 Map a Network Drive on Your Windows PC

  1. In Windows Explorer, choose Map Network Drive from the Tools menu.

  2. Enter or choose a letter in Drive field.

    In the following example, the letter Q is the Drive letter.

  3. Enter the directory path for the IFS directory in the Folder field and press Finish.

    Note:

    Use back slashes in Windows. In the following example, you can replace <System i> with the network machine name or IP Address of your AS/400, System i or System i server.

    \\<System i>\

    You might need to share any directory that you specify in the directory path. You typically do not need to specify the Root directory in the directory path when mapping to a shared folder.

  4. The system might prompt you to enter your System i User ID and password. When doing so, you might need to enter the network Domain or IP address where the System i resides to qualify the User ID. Enter the password in lowercase.
