IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Although there are workarounds, in ACS it is one file at a time. It is preferable to have this function in ACS to do a whole tree at a time.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

Under Consideration - IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.
You could always define a file share in "IBM Navigator for i"--under "File Systems", "Integrated File System", and "File Shares". Then map a PC drive to it and copy the whole folder at once. This is what we've done.
To make it easier to manage and add new folders, we have a folder off the root called "NetServer". That way we don't share the root.
