• Moving files or folders to another file system
  Each file system has its own unique characteristics. However, moving objects to a different file system might mean losing the advantages of the file system in which the objects are currently stored. You might want to move objects from one file system to another to take advantage of those characteristics.

• Setting permissions
  Adding permissions to an object allows you to control the ability of others to manipulate that object. With permissions, you can allow some users to only view objects, while allowing others to actually edit the objects.

• Setting up file text conversion
  You can set up automatic text file conversion in iSeries™ Navigator. Automatic text file conversion allows you to use file extensions for file data conversion.

• Sending a file or folder to another system
  To send a file or folder to another system, follow these steps.

• Changing options for a package definition
  A package definition allows you to group together a set of i5/OS objects or integrated file system files.

• Scheduling a date and time to send your file or folder
  The schedule function gives you the flexibility to do your work when it is convenient for you to do it.

• Creating a file share
  A file share is a directory path that iSeries NetServer™ shares with PC clients on the System i™ network. A file share can consist of any integrated file system directory on the System i platform.

• Changing a file share
  A file share is a directory path that iSeries NetServer shares with PC clients on the System i network. A file share can consist of any integrated file system directory on the System i platform.

• Creating a new user-defined file system
  A user-defined file system (UDFS) is a file system that you create and define the attributes for. UDFSs reside in auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) on the system.

• Mounting a user-defined file system
  To access or view the data stored in a UDFS, mount the UDFS after every IPL.

• Unmounting a user-defined file system
  When you mount a UDFS, it covers up any file systems, directories, or objects that exist beneath the mount point in the folder hierarchy. This makes those file systems, directories, or objects inaccessible until you unmount the UDFS.

• Setting whether objects should be scanned or not
  Follow these steps to set whether an object should be scanned or not.
