Create a directory using iSeries Navigator

To create a directory on your iSeries™ server, follow these steps:

  1. Open iSeries Navigator.
  2. Double-click the name of your server in the My Connections window to sign on. If your server is not listed in the My Connections window, follow these steps to add it:
    1. Click File --> Add Connection....
    2. Type the name of your server in the System field.
    3. Click Next.
    4. If it is not already entered, enter your User ID in the Use default user ID, prompt as needed field.
    5. Click Next.
    6. Click Verify Connection. This confirms that you can connect to the server.
    7. Click Finish.
  3. Expand the folder under the connection you want to use. Locate a folder named File Systems. If you do not see this folder, the option to install File Systems during the iSeries Navigator installation was not selected. You must install the File Systems option of iSeries Navigator by selecting Start --> Programs --> IBM® iSeries Access for Windows® --> Selective Setup.
  4. Expand the File Systems folder and locate the Integrated File System folder.
  5. Expand the Integrated File System folder, then expand the Root folder. By expanding the Root folder, you see the same structure as performing the WRKLNK ('/') command on the iSeries command line.
  6. Right-click on the folder where you want to add a subdirectory. Select New Folder and enter the name of the subdirectory you want to create.
