Mapping a Drive

You must map a network drive before you can use shared folders.

To map a drive for use by shared folders

1. On the Tools menu, click Map Drive to open the Map Drive dialog box.
2. In the Drive box, select the drive letter that you want to map.
   Note Since only active AS/400 systems drives can be assigned, the Host Folder box will automatically display the current system name.
3. In the Host Folder box, type in the name of the folder to which you want the drive assigned. For example:
   \\SYSTEM10\FOLDER2\SUBFLDA
   

   Note If you assign the drive to a system only, the drive is assigned to all folders in that system.

4. Click Reconnect At Startup if you want to have these drives reconnect when you start NS/Folders.
5. Click OK to map the drive, or click Cancel to return to the main window without making any changes.

Note Long filenames are not supported by NS/Folders when copied to any folder below the \QDLS folder on the AS/400. If you are attempting to copy files with long names to a folder that does not support long filenames, the system generates an error message. You will need to shorten your filename in order to proceed with the copy.
