  • 1.  IBM Navigator for I - Integrated File System - Create folder on root?

    Posted Thu February 16, 2023 01:29 PM

    Is it possible within the web interface -- IBM Navigator for I

    To create folder on root in the Integrated File System?  (Using Qsec ... .)

    This article describes the process to create a folder in the IFS, but not necessarily from the root:

    Joe, are you using Access Client for i? If you are, check out the 'Integrated File System' icon on the secondary menu line under 'File Edit View', etc.

    In Integrated File System you can also create folders as long as you have permission. In the Example 1 attachment is the menu for Integrated File System.

    Look at the far right and see the left-hook arrow. Click that until only '/' is showing under 'Directory'. That's the root drive. Click Actions, then click 'New Folder...' 

    or CTRL+N. At the prompt put your folder name and Voila! you have a folder in the root directory!

    Thanks, Phillip.

    Yep, I am able to create a folder through ACS/Actions/IFS.

    (It would be nice to be able to create a "share" through ACS/Actions/IFS or ACS/Actions/[a new action for Shares].)

    I want a one-stop-shop like was available through System I Nav.

    Do you have acces to Navigator for i now? The new one looks weird, but it should do what you're wanting. You should be able to use <system_name>:2002/Navigator/login to get there. Make sure your 'node' is active for the IP address of your IBM i.

    The new Nav was not ready for prime time when it was pushed into production and is still missing important components for managing the IBM i environment.  Since IBM took the steps to sunset the Heritage version, we will eventually have to get used to it.
