I finally got my mac networked to my PC through ftp! Yea! Now I can transfer more than a floppy across. I also got Netscape 4.08 installed and working but need to figure out proxy setting.
-- In my search for software I found "Apple Specs" but I'm finding conflicting info. I was wondering how accurate the info in here is. According to the Specs I've got this: MAC LC 580 68LC040, 66Mhz CPU 32-bit, 33Mhz Data Path (Bus) Max ram 52Mb in 2 72-pin SIMMs Addressing Mode: 32-bit Original System SW: 7.5 Supports: 7.5, 7.5.1, 7.5.3, 7.5.5, 7.6, 7.6.1*, 8.0 *currently installed 500 MB IDE HD (Apple System Profiler reports I actually have a 346.8MB HD) Supports 2x CDROM (I currently do not have, but would like to get one) Pickle: you recomended dropping back down to 7.1. Would that pose any problems? And from what I've been finding, it most internet apps work on 7.5.5 and above. Since that is goal I've almost reached, would this still be advisable? Upgrading the RAM is going to happen within a week or 2 and I'm going to max it out (so I can turn off virtual memory). Would this be a factor in the OS I run? Also in regards to the 32-bit addressing unable to be turned off, would booting on a MacOS 6.x (on a floppy only) work for the older programs? Or is the above supported OS's pretty much what I have to pick from? Or using vMac would work? With the HD being IDE, I could easily upgrade this to a larger HD (up to 2 GB I believe) but would it be worth it? I can see myself getting lots of apps and such, but I can use my PC for storage (eventual goal: file sharing/browsing). -- My next question, if anyone is familiar with ftp and file transfering is this: I've got a basic, no frills ftp server on my PC, and I got Anarchie 1.40 on the Mac. It seems to work great, but about half of the files I attempt to transfer across I get an "Invalid Lenth (-23006)" error in Anarchie. It seem to transfer bin files ok, (although a couple failed) but hqx file are not working at all. I've got StuffIt on the PC as well, and it unstuffs them fine, but the resulting files usually give the same error. For hqx files is there something I'm missing for downloading them? Everything I've seen says transfer as Binary and that's what I'm doing but I'm at a loss on this one. Any advice appreciated.
