Move Files from G3 (Os X9.1) to Mac Pro (10.13) via LAN
I want to move files from a G3 1991 beige Mac to a 2010 Mac Pro; but I have not been successful using the connect to server (command K shortcut).
I have a program disk which reads data files from a CD ROM that was marked when G3 beige computers was being manufactured and sold. The disk contains important data that cannot be read by OS X computer.
I have a network composed of the 1991 G3 (9.1), 2010 Mac Pro (10.13), 2008 Mac Pro (10.12), and 2005 G5 (10.4).
The G5 can be switched to the classic environment.
All computers are networked to an Apple 2011 Air Port (A1408) router via cables. I can connect between all of the computers except the G3.
The computers all boot, can run programs, and write files; all of the computers except the G3 can access to the internet.
The computers have sequential ip addresses on the LAN. For example purposes, the ip are listed as X where X equals a digit as in xx.x.x.1, xx.x.x.2, xx.x.x.3, ...
File sharing is turned for all machines.
TCP/IP settings for the G3 are listed as:
connect via: ethernet
configure: using DHCP server
DHCP client ID: [dialog box; I do not know the value to input]
IP address: xx.x.x.4
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
router address: xx.x.x.1
name server address: xx.x.x.1
search domains: lusfiber.net
The file sharing on the G3 activity tab are listed as:
Owner Name: aesop
owner password: xxxxxx
Computer name : aesop
IP address: xx.x.x.4
file sharing is on
URL: afp://xx.x.x.4/
programing linking is off.
The network settings for the Mac Pro are:
Ethernet 1: active; self assigned IP; [this IP addresses do not have the same sequence as G3]
Ethernet 2: active; xx.x.x.3 [this IP address falls within the same sequence as the G3]
ip address: xx.x.x.3
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
router: xx.x.x.1
DNS server XX.X.X.1
search domains: lusfiber
advanced tab > TCP/IP
configure: using DHCP
IPv4 address: XX.x.x.3
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
router: xx.x.x.1
configure IPv6: automatically
DHCP client id: [dialog box; I do not know if box requires a value]
When I try to connect from the Mac Pro using connect to the server (finder short command + K), I get this dialog box:
There was a problem connecting to the server "xx.x.x4)".
The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.
When I try to use transmit (a ftp program downloaded form the Apple App Store), I am not certain what to list as the server, initial path, and port. I do know the user name and the password.
The most complete description of how to connect a G3 (OS 9.1) to a Mac Pro (OS 10.14) is found on CNET.com in 2010; but the explanation is mudded because the dialog boxes are the same the ones that I see on my machine. That link is here:
