File Server (QFileSvr.400) File System

The File Server (QFileSvr.400) file system can be accessed through the integrated file system (IFS) interface. This is done by using either the OS/400 file server or the integrated file system commands, user displays, and ISO stream I/O functions and system APIs.

Note:
The characteristics of the QFileSvr.400 file system are determined by the characteristics of the file system that are being accessed on the target system.

Path Names

For a first-level directory, which actually represents the root (/) directory of the target system, the QFileSvr.400 file system preserves the same uppercase and lowercase form in which object names are entered. However, no distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase when QFileSvr.400 searches for names.

For all other directories, case-sensitivity is dependent on the specific file system being accessed. QFileSvr.400 preserves the same uppercase and lowercase form in which object names are entered when file requests are sent to the OS/400 file server.
