After you create the folder share, open your browser and enter the system ip address to access the IFS to drag and drop.
I do this with PTFs and image catalogs.

I now use mapped drives via Windows Explorer drag& drop or copy/paste.

Doing that then going with the save process and ftp. Of course ‘bin’.

thanks

I have one image catalog at the moment that is about 200k in size, with a corresponding IFS folder that is over 6 gig in size. This picture was created initially with a RSTOBJ of the image catalog, and a RST of the corresponding IFS folder. You can create a save file in one of your regular libraries, save the IFS folder to that with the SAV command (to use a save file SAVETEST in QGPL, your device name would be

/qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/savetest.file

)then FTP both of those save files over. BIN, of course. Yes?

If you save the image catalog the size is about 196K. If you look at the size of one volume in the catalog it’s size is around 700M. It seems that you can save the catalog from the library but it does not pull the files from the IFS. Any ideas?
