<h1 class="topictitle1">Access using <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer</h1>
<div><p><span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> Support
for Windows<sup>®</sup> Network
Neighborhood (<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer™)
is an <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> function that
enables Windows clients to access <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> shared
directory paths and shared output queues. <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer allows
PCs that run Windows software to seamlessly access data and printers
that are managed by your <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>. </p>
<div class="section"> <p>PC clients on a network use the file and print sharing functions
that are included in their operating systems. This means that you do not need
to install any additional software on your PC to use <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer.</p>
<p>Linux<sup>®</sup> clients with the Samba client software installed
can also seamlessly access data and printers through <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer.
Shared iSeries NetServer directories
can be mounted on Linux clients as Samba file systems (smbfs) in a similar
manner to mounting NFS file systems that have been exported from iSeries. </p>
<p>An <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer file
share is a directory path that <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer shares
with clients on the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> network.
A file share can consist of any integrated file system directory on <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>. Before you can work with file
sharing using <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer,
you must create a <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer file
share, and, if necessary, change a <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer file
share using <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span>.</p>
<p><span>To
access integrated file system file shares using <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer:</span></p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">Start</span>, and select <span class="uicontrol">Explore</span> to
open Windows Explorer
on your Windows PC.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Open the Tools menu, and select <span class="uicontrol">Map network drive</span>. </span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select a letter of a free drive for the file share (such as the <samp class="codeph">I:\</samp> drive).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Enter the name of an <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer file
share.</span> For example, you can enter the following syntax: <samp class="codeph">\\QSYSTEM1\Sharename</samp>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <samp class="codeph">QSYSTEM1</samp> is the system name of <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer,
and <samp class="codeph">Sharename</samp> is the name of the file share you want to use.</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>. </span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> When connecting using <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer,
the server name may be different than the name used by <span class="keyword">iSeries Access Family</span>.
For example the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer name
may be <samp class="codeph">QAS400X</samp>, and the path to work with files may be <samp class="codeph">\\QAS400X\QDLS\MYFOLDER.FLR\MYFILE.DOC</samp>.
However, the <span class="keyword">iSeries Access Family</span> name
may be <samp class="codeph">AS400X</samp>, and the path to work with files may be <samp class="codeph">\\AS400X\QDLS\MYFOLDER.FLR\MYFILE.DOC</samp>.</div>
<p> You
choose which directories to share with the network using <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> NetServer.
Those directories appear as the first level under the server name. For example,
if you share the <samp class="codeph">/home/fred</samp> directory with the name <samp class="codeph">fredsdir</samp>,
a user would be able to access that directory from the PC with the name <samp class="codeph">\\QAS400X\FREDSDIR</samp>,
or from a LINUX client with the name <samp class="codeph">//qas400x/fredsdir</samp>.</p>
<p>The
"root" (/) file system provides much better performance for PC file serving
than other <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> file systems.
You may want to move files to the "root" (/) file system. See <a href="rzaaxmovingobjects.htm#rzaaxmovingobjects">Move files or folders to another file system</a> for
more information</p>
