Integrated File System Introduction
Perform operations using iSeries menus and displays
You can perform operations on files and other objects in the integrated file system by using a set of menus and displays provided by your server. To display integrated file system menus:
- Sign on to your server.
- Press Enter to continue.
- Select the Files, Libraries, and Folders option from the iSeries main menu.
- Select the Integrated File System option from the Files, Libraries, and Folders menu.
From here, you can work with Directory commands, Object commands, or Security commands in the integrated file system, depending upon your needs. However, If you know the CL command you will be using, you can type it at the command line at the bottom of the screen and press Enter, bypassing the menu of options.
Additionally, you can access the integrated file system from any menu on your server by performing the following steps:
- Type GO DATA on any command line to display the Files, Libraries, and Folders menu.
- Select the option Integrated file system.
To see a menu of Network File System commands, type GO CMDNFS on any command line. To see a menu of user-defined file system commands, type GO CMDUDFS on any command line.
From the integrated file system menus, you can request displays on which you can do the following operations:
- Create, convert, and remove a directory
- Display and change the name of the current directory
- Add, display, change, and remove object links
- Copy, move, and rename objects
- Check out and check in objects
- Save (back up) and restore objects
- Display and change object owners and user authorities
- Copy data between stream files and database file members
- Create, delete, and display the status of user-defined file systems
- Export file systems from a server
- Mount and unmount file systems on a client
Some file systems do not support all of these operations. For restrictions in particular file systems, see File systems in the integrated file system.
