Answer Wiki:
My first question would be why not use ftp, but if you don't want to use ftp you can try Operations Navigator.
Open Navigator go to File Systems/Integrated Files, also open Windows explorer and copy and paste from Windows directory into System Navigator

Why can you not use FTP?
Have you tried iSeries Navigator ?
Create a directory on the system then copy/paste from desktop to a DIR
FTP is most common. You can also use CPYFRMSTMF to copy from a streamfile into a savefile if you can access any share from the PC. The share can be either on a Windows/Linux server that your AS/400 can access or from your AS/400 out to the network.
I haven’t tried the iSeries Navigator suggestion, but it seems reasonable that it provides a method.

FTP seems the easiest to me. Create a save file first on iSeries.
On PC: FTP iSeries
Logon
Change to Binary format

Navigator has file size limits (I found this out trying to copy a cumulative PTF download) so, depending on the save file size, it may not be an option.
Navigator has file size limits…
I don’t know if a limit is in iNav itself or if it’s from Maximum file size that can be read or written using the iSeries™ Access File Server, which is 4GB at V5R4. I don’t see a figure for i 6.1 yet.

I like using Ops Nav for this stuff, but submitting the FTP commands are quick and easy.
Just remember to type BIN before you issue the FTP send command.
actually to be ftp is the best and easy way to just send files to the as400..
