Control access to iSeries NetServer file shares

Assigning an access setting for iSeries NetServer™ file shares through iSeries Navigator allows you to control the level of access that PC clients have to objects in iSeries integrated file system directory paths. If you set the access of a file share to Read only, then clients do not have the authority to change a file. If you set the access of a file share to Read/Write, then client users can change any files they have authority to in the shared directory paths.

To set the access for an iSeries NetServer file share, follow these steps:

1. Open a connection to iSeries Navigator on your iSeries.
2. Expand Network.
3. Expand Servers.
4. Click TCP/IP to retrieve a list of the TCP/IP servers available.
5. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Open.
6. Expand Shared Objects.
7. Right-click a file share and select Properties.
8. Click the pull-down menu in the Access field.
9. Set the file share access to read only by selecting Read only. Set the file share access to read/write by selecting Read/Write.
