File Adapter from AIX to Windows

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our PI system sits on an AIX box and we have a file share on a Windows share. We need to be able to use a File Sender Communication Channel and File Receiver Communication Channel between these two servers.

Is this possible? or do we need to use a third party software to copy files between AIX and Windows?

Thanks,

Gareth

It is possible. Are you facing any problem?

I haven't tried it yet. I was wondering how to do it.

Do I create a NFS share on the Windows server and then point the file adapter to this folder?

You have various options:

a) You can share the directory on Windows using the SFU toos from Microsoft (Services for Unix): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=896c9688-601b-44f1-81a4-02878ff11778&Displa...

b) you can install "samba" on your AIX system: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix_samba/index.html
