IT Jungle just posted a new tip I wrote that answers this question about disappearing QFileSvr.400 connections.
I set up a QFileSvr.400 connection for accessing AS/400 Integrated File Systems (AS/400 IFS) objects on another IBM i machine. I use it several times a month to transfer files. All of a sudden, the connection stopped working and I have no clue why. Do you have any idea what could happened and how I can fix it?
That’s right. QFileSvr.400 connections can and do suddenly disappear. Read this IT Jungle article to see how it happens along with the relatively simple way to make your remote system connection sticky.
