Data and File Management
|
| |
The
BOSâNOVA TCP/IP provides advanced data and file management features and
tools for AS/400 connectivity:
|
| |
Data Transfer Function (DTF) |
| |
DTF
is a 32-bit Windows utility for transferring data in either direction
between a PC and an AS/400. The DTF Wizard is used to build a list of
profiles that can be automatically transferred. The DTF Scheduler enables
transferring data according to a predetermined time and/ or based on a
predefined screen trigger that initiates the transfer. The DTF Interface
is used to create and view the profiles and profile lists, change
parameters and profile lists, and run data transfers interactively. |
| |
Native AS/400 File Transfer |
| |
The
native AS/400 FTP client is designed specifically for use with the AS/400
and supports all the AS/400 naming conventions and file systems. Using the
FTP client, users can transfer and receive data to and from the folders
area, and from the AS/400 libraries.
|

|
| |
Host Explorer |
| |
The Host
explorer, modeled on the Windows Explorer, enables users to view the
AS/400 as if it were another PC on the network. It provides access
to all connected AS/400s, displaying libraries and/or files as if
they were folders on another (PC) network drive. Host Explorer
functions include:
- drag-and-drop copying of folders or files
- sending print jobs directly from a PC to
AS/400 printer queues
- a full, customizable toolbar (with or
without text labels)
- adding printer
|
| |
BOSâNOVA IFS |
| |
BOSâNOVA
IFS (Integrated File System) is a Windows 95/98/Me utility that enables
you to work with AS/400 folders as if they were PC folders. With BOSâNOVA
IFS you can:
- use
an AS/400 as a file server for your PC
- assign a root folder on an
AS/400 to an available drive on your PC
- use
IFS in Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95 and DOS applications
- copy
folders and files to and from your PC and an AS/400
- change file attributes and
create, browse, rename, move, and delete PC and AS/400 folders and
files
