You can use Remote System Explorer to transfer WAR and EAR files to your IBM® i host. With Remote System Explorer you can move files between your workstation and your server without using FTP or NetServer™ file sharing.
The WebSphere® Application
Server administrative console for versions 8.5.5 and later are browser
based. WAR and EAR files can be installed directly from your workstation
or from a path in your server's file system if they have already been
transferred there.
To transfer files using Remote System Explorer, follow these steps:
With your WAR or EAR file transferred to your IBM i file system, you can specify it's location directly in the application server's administative console. For example, if you exported your WebFacing project to a file called wfproj.war and transferred the file to , then in the administative console application install dialog, you can specify the path for your WAR file as /home/my_directory/wfproj.war .
