Access using menus and displays

You can perform operations on files and other objects in the integrated file system by using a set of menus and displays provided by your server.

To display integrated file system menus:

Sign on to your server.
Press Enter to continue.
From the iSeries™ main menu, select the Files, Libraries, and Folders option.
From the Files, Libraries, and Folders menu, select the Integrated File System option.

From here, you can work with Directory commands, Object commands, or Security commands in the integrated file system, depending upon your needs. However, if you know the CL command you will be using, you can type it at the command line at the bottom of the screen and press Enter, bypassing the menu of options.

Additionally, you can access the integrated file system from any menu on your server by performing the following steps:

Type GO DATA on any command line to display the Files, Libraries, and Folders menu.
Select Integrated file system.

To see a menu of Network File System commands, type GO CMDNFS on any command line. To see a menu of user-defined file system commands, type GO CMDUDFS on any command line.

From the integrated file system menus, you can request displays or commands on which you can do the following operations:

Create, convert, and remove a directory
Display and change the name of the current directory
Add, display, change, and remove object links
Copy, move, and rename objects
Check out and check in objects
Save (back up) and restore objects
Display and change object owners and user authorities
Display and change attributes of objects
Copy data between stream files and database file members
Create, delete, and display the status of user-defined file systems
Export file systems from a server
Mount and unmount file systems on a client

Some file systems do not support all of these operations.
