Hi
I'd like to know if it is possible to exchange files between two computers - one running OS X 10.2.6 and the other Mac OS 7.5.3. The computers are both connected to the LAN and can both access the web. I guess I could use Personal Web Sharing to get stuff one way (X->7.5.3) but I was thinking about mounting volumes and such. Any ideas?
Simple. Turn on personal File Sharing in the system Preferences. The 7.5.3 system can access shared directories via the chooser, (you may have to update appleshare), via the Server IP address. It will show in your browsable list of hosts.
Anything in your user's Public folder is accessible via Guest Access; anything in your own Home dir is accessible by logging on as the user you are on the OS X system.
For the OS X box to see the 7.5 system you need Shareway IP Personal <http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/> (Or to upgrade to OS 9, because Apple's solution for personal File Sharing in OS 9 was actually a bundled version of Shareway IP personal...) Then folders and volumes marked as shared are accessible on your 7.5 system as permitted in the Users and Groups control panel.
