CPYTOPCD command.
Are any of you familiar with this command? Can this be used to copy something from the AS400 to a shared folder on a Windows system, or do any of you know how to accomplish this?

Answer Wiki:
it is not the good command, youy have to copy your file to QNTC disk system, not QDLS disk system;
use CPYTOSTMF to copy to QNTC

=====================================================
To copy a streamfile from the IFS to a share on a Windows system, use they CPY command. To copy an externally described database file, use CPYTOIMPF. To copy a source file member or program-described file, use CPYTOSTMF.
CPYTOPCD is an obsolete special-purpose command. It's almost certain you will never have a use for it. If you think you do, assume that you haven't found what you need and keep looking.

I find it better to either FTP the file to a folder on the windows machine or to have the user map a drive to the IFS and then use CPYTOIMPF to send the file to the mapped drive.
