No can do.
Quoting the iFS 1.1.9 [ie the one with 8.1.7] Setup and Administration Guide,
Chapter 6, "Task 3: Load Files into Oracle iFS" :

The Four Ways to Load Files into Oracle iFS This section discusses the four possible ways of loading documents into Oracle iFS.
Remember to set the default ACL on your user ID to ensure that loaded files have
the correct security.
Drag and Drop in the Windows and Web Interfaces In both theWindows Explorer and the Web interface, you can drag and drop files
into Oracle iFS. When you load files using either SMB or drag and drop in the Web
interface, the XML files are parsed by default. If you do not want the XML files to be
parsed, you must use another protocol to load your files. Use FTP to Load Files
While running the FTP server, you can use any FTP client to load files into Oracle
iFS. Using the FTP protocol is the most efficient way to performbulk file loading.
When you load files using FTP, XML files are parsed by default. You can turn off the
parsing mode by using a quote command.
Browse and Upload Using the Web Interface Using the Web, choose Upload by Browse and select the file to upload. You can
select to parse the file and apply an ACL. This is an efficient tool because it can be
used from any machine and does not require any client installation except for a
browser.
Use the Command Line Utilities
You can use the Command Line Utilities to load files into Oracle iFS by using the
ifsmv command or the ifsput command.When you load files into Oracle iFS using the Command Line Utilities, XML files are parsed by default. You can turn off
the parsing mode by using the ifsmode parse off command.

Have you tried FTPing the file into iFS ? There should be a "quote parsemodeoff " in FTP.

Subject: iFS - storing XML via Windows Explorer

Hi,

we have a iFS instance. iFS lets you update an attribute of a file by copying a proper XML file into a directory and iFS interprets it as a command. If something is not O.K. with the file, it spits out an error file into the same directory.

Now my problem is that I would like to store an XML file in an iFS direcotry
by draging the XML file into the iFS directory in Windows Explorer. The result is that I get a error file. Does someone know of a way to override this "feature"?

TIA, Tamas Szecsy
