Much of this holds for 8.6 also...


OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!

With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to the 10.4.8 machine.


Another solution is OpenDoor's $39 Shareway IP, (some OS7, 8, 9 releases had a limited version included)...

Which makes OS9 Tiger compatable.


"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

If there is a problem sharing files on a hard disk in a Mac OS 8.x computer, a "universal" alternative could be to install a small FTP server there (NetPresenz is now free). An FTP server allows you to use almost any other computer (Mac, Linux, Windows) to gain access to the files (through a dedicated FTP client or a normal web browser). With an FTP client on the other machine, it is even possible to upload files to the Mac OS 8.x computer.
