Copying a text file from the ROOT of the IFS

Hi List. Could someone kindly tell me how to copy a file from the IFS to my PC. I can copy/export a spool file to my desktop no problem but when I try to copy/paste from a folder under the ROOT it doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The easiest way is to go into System i Navigator (Operations Navigator), Go to File Systems, Integrated File Systems, Root, find your file and then drag it to your desktop. It will copy the text file to your desktop. You can also use FTP if you are needing to script this process.
 
SteveH, thanks for that. The odd thing is every time I try that Ops Nav says not responding and restarting.

I've applied the latest service pack. Guess I'll open a PMR.

Thanks again.
