Controlling access to iSeries NetServer file shares

 

You can assign an access setting for iSeries™ NetServer™ file shares to control the PC clients' level of access to objects in the directory paths of the i5/OS® integrated file system.

If you set the access of a file share to Read only, then clients do not have the authority to change a file. If you set the access of a file share to Read/Write, then client users can change any files they have authority to in the shared directory paths.

To set the access for an iSeries NetServer file share, follow these steps:

  1. Open a connection to iSeries Navigator on your system.

  2. Expand Network > Servers.

  3. Click TCP/IP to retrieve a list of the TCP/IP servers available.

  4. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Open.

  5. Expand Shared Objects.

  6. Right-click a file share and select Properties.

  7. Click the pull-down menu in the Access field.

  8. Set the file share access to read only by selecting Read only. Set the file share access to read/write by selecting Read/Write.
