That’s what I was afraid of. We used samba “once” at that was extremely painful. The vendor I was dealing with basically said that they made it a share, get the files there any way you want. Not very helpful. That already had FTP allowed. Problem was that the setup was defined for something else entirely and I caould not get to the share. So, I created another FTP site through IIS and assigned it a different port number because 21 was already in use (cannot use same port for different sites) and things seem to be working a ok. I thought there was something native to AIX regarding the issue of the shared folder.
Thanks for the reply.
