Hello allThe easy way is to dispose of the Wintel boxes and replace them with Macs. :-)
I want to transfer some files from my Lombard (OS 9.2.2) to my Thinkpad 560X (WIN98) via my home network (Linksys BEFW11SF wireless).
I can plug both machines into ethernet ports so I don't have to get a second wireless card.
I've had to tinker with the wintel boxes to get them to see each other on the network, how can I make them visible to the Lombard (or vice-versa)?
Alternatively under OS9 and earlier, you can run 'Fetch' and enable FTP server
(I have found it painfully slow). I prefer filezilla on the PC as a ftp client.
You can also run an ftp server on the PC - my approach is to use cygwin (it's a form
of unix emulator that comes with lots of unix type utils including ftpd) - in which
case you can use fetch to be the mac ftp client.
There is a commercial product out called 'Dave' by http://www.thursby.com/ which is supposed to put Macs on a PC network. They will let you download an evaluation version.
Even better, load up freebsd/linux on the PC and make it run as a ftp server.
Pete.
