There are at least 8 ways to file serve on system 6. 5 of them are buggy and unstable. That leaves:
1..Public Folder is a good one because it's stable. I don't understand why you don't want to put it on all your Macs, after all, it does what you want to do. 2..Another alternative is to use AppleShare File Server 2.0.1, but then the system 6 Mac that has it can't be used to do anything else. 3..Another alternative is to change the privileges on the client Macs to allow users to "Make Changes", then you can send files to those Macs from the system 6 Mac.
