Hi ya'll, a few questions (each asked separately from each other):
1. Is it possible to do FTP over a cross-over ethernet cable, or a hub? (I'm
fairly sure the answer is YES)
2. What software is needed to set up IPs to allow for FTP (or any other
TCP/IP service)?
2.1 Using Macintosh OS 9 (preferred) or OS X (if necessary)
or
2.2 On Windows 98 (not preferred b/c this computer needs to
be re-floormatted)
[BTW I would also like to know how to set up TCP/IP services for future
reference]
3. Does the demo version of DAVE (as discussed in the G3-PC networking
thread) allow one to transfer files between Windows 98 and Mac OS 9.2.1?
The reason I'm trying to do FTP between a PowerBook G3 and a Windoze 98
computer is that a friend has a 98 machine that needs to be reformatted
(well, that's going to be my solution because I simply don't have the time
to rebuild it for her -- format and install and then restore documents).
The PB G3 has only 64 MB RAM (& 4 gig drive (2+ free)) so I'm hesitant to
install OS X on it for the Windows networking. Will 64 MB be too crippling
to allow for file copying between Mac & PC? Setting up the PB G3 with OS X
10.1 (can 10.1 on its own log-on to Windows 98?) and Samba would probably
allow me to network the two but won't leave much disk space to back-up files
off the Windows 98 computer.
PS ethernet networking is the only back-up method available. The PC is on a
DSL connection and I could set up my computer as a FTP server over the
internet, *but* outbound data transfer rates over DSL are <10 K/Sec so
backing up a HD over the web would take too long.
Thanks for your help, Eric.
