IBM Client Access 5.8

IBM Client Access, developed by IBM Corporation, is a Windows-based software suite that connects PCs to IBM i (formerly AS/400, iSeries, System i) systems. It streamlines everyday tasks for administrators, developers, and power users by providing secure access to applications, data, and system resources on IBM i.

Key capabilities include:

• 5250 terminal emulation for interacting with IBM i applications
• Database connectivity to DB2 for i via ODBC, OLE DB, and .NET providers
• Data transfer tools for moving data between IBM i and desktop applications such as Microsoft Excel
• Printer and display emulation, plus spool file and message management
• Access to the Integrated File System (IFS) and file/print sharing integration
• System management tools, including remote command execution and basic monitoring
• Support for enterprise security features, including SSL/TLS

IBM Client Access helps organizations integrate IBM i resources with Windows environments, improve productivity, and maintain secure, reliable connectivity for business-critical workloads. Note: IBM’s current offering is IBM i Access Client Solutions, which provides modern, cross-platform capabilities, while many environments still recognize and use IBM Client Access.
