Remote Explorer[edit]
The Remote Explorer is the heart and starting point of the application. In the Remote Explorer, the connections to the IBM i servers are managed and the QSYS and root file system in the IFS can be browsed. The libraries, source, and stream files can be managed. Actions like create, delete, rename, copy, paste, etc. are supported.

Connections[edit]
Connections are the starting point for working with the IBM i server.

A name for the connection and the server name or IP address must be entered to create a connection. The username is optional.
The password is not stored in the connection properties and must be entered on every connection attempt.
