UNIX AIX

Hello,

Can someone please point to an easy document or steps how to export AIX file system /whatever to Windows O/S

Basically Windows should see this filesystem / directory and should be able to write in this filesystem / directory

Thanks

Would suggest reading Chapter 11. Network File System administration:
Redbook

I'd suggest installing samba on your AIX box and then sharing out the directory you want access to. The high level steps are:

  1. install samba
  2. Configure the smb.conf file to share your directories
  3. Create your SMB user (smbpasswd -a userid) - has to be a local AIX account ID.
  4. mount the shared drives from within windows

Make sure your account has write access to the directory you are sharing. We use this technique to upload/download files from our NIM server so we don't have to use FTP anymore.... security restrictions and stuff.
