ILE C/C++ Programmer's Guide


Using the Integrated File System (IFS)

ILE C/C++ primarily supports the iSeries root file system. The root file system is one of the many file systems accessible through the Integrated File System interface. It uses notation similar to that used to access files and directories on UNIX systems, allowing you to access information across multiple platforms in a uniform way.

Take care when transferring files to and from various platforms. Use of a download and upload utility like FTP allows you to specify the correct mapping of characters so your streamed source remains valid on the iSeries platform, even if it has been stored temporarily on other platforms. See Pitfalls to Avoid for more tips.
