How to copy save file to ifs?

I have just created a save file in my dev library on an as400 machine using the CRTSAVF command and also saved some of the objects in the save file using the command SAVOBJ and now I must copy the save file to IFS.

    You can copy the save file to IFS using the integrated file system in Access Client Solutions (ACS).  Follow the below steps:

    1. Open ACS, and under the General tab open Integrated File System.
    2. Once the dialog opens, the default directory open is the user’s home directory.
    3. Type the directory /qsys.lib/library.lib/ and press Enter to locate and open the save file library.
    4. Right-click on the selected save file and download the save file to a specified location on the PC.
    5. Come back to the user home directory, Right click on the entry area, select “Upload…” and select and locate the downloaded file on the computer and open it.
    6. Upload… dialog appears and check the box “Replace existing file” option and upload the file from PC to ifs.
    7. Follow this indirect way to copy and save files to ifs.

    Please use the CPY command in as400 to copy the save file to ifs.

    CPY OBJ('/qsys.lib/libname.lib/savefilename.file')
    TODIR('/home/developer)
    REPLACE(*YES)

    Here, we are copying the save file present in the library to the ifs user home path and replacing the file if exists on ifs.

    When copying a SAVF in a library to ifs please always use the “.file” extension.

    You can copy the save file to ifs using the CPYTOSTMF command. The syntax of the Copy-to-stream file command is as follows:
    CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/libname.lib/savefile.file')
    TOSTMF('/home/tester/savefile.savf')
    STMFOPT(*REPLACE)
    Pass the fully qualified save file name in the FROMMBR parameter and pass the path/filename in the TOSTMF parameter. This command will copy the save file present in the library to the ifs path.
