Stairways Software = the folks who did Interarchy - offer Netpresenz which will 
allow OS 7.5 to act as an FTP server.

You do need an ethernet capability on your system 7 machine. Lion won't 
transfer files using AppleTalk or Apple File Transfer Protocol. (That's why I'm 
still at 10.3.9.)

Lion will not allow you to send files to any FTP server even if you have a 
username and password.  It's apparently a security thing.  My way around it is 
to use curl but that's a UNIX tool that's included in the distribution of Lion 
but requires a Terminal.app session to use it.

Netpresenz does support Apple resource forks using MacBinary format. I doubt 
that Lion still knows anything about that. OS 7 applications on 68k machines do 
require resource forks.
