LAN Server/400 (QLANSrv) File System

The LAN Server/400 (QLANSrv) file system provides access to the same directories and files that are accessed through the LAN Server/400 licensed program. It allows users of the OS/400 file server and iSeries applications to use the same data as LAN Server/400 clients.

Files and directories in the QLANSrv file system are stored and managed by a LAN server that is based on the OS/2 LAN server. This LAN server does not support the concept of a file or directory owner or owning group. File ownership cannot be changed using a command or an ISO stream I/O function and system API. Access is controlled through access control lists. You can change these lists by using the WRKAUT and CHGAUT commands.

User Access

To work with the QLANSrv file system through the integrated file system interface, use the integrated file system commands, user displays, or ISO stream I/O functions and system APIs.

Path Names

The file system preserves the same uppercase and lowercase form in which object names are entered. No distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase when the system searches for names. A search for object names achieves the same result regardless of whether characters in the names are uppercase or lowercase.
