A non-standard method of PC to Mac file transfer
Authored by: balthisar on Apr 14, '03 12:03:09PM

I've not had any problems either (knock on formica [it's what's readily here]) with connect to server (other than FTP not working to the internet). BUT, here are some alternate, native methods:

(1) Setup your Mac to use SAMBA/Windows file sharing. Then connect to the Mac from the WinBox.
(2) Setup your Mac or PC as an FTP server with the right permissions. You can then upload/download from one machine or the other.
(3) Search this site to setup WebDAV on your Mac. Then use Windows to connect to your WebDAV server.

A non-standard method of PC to Mac file transfer
Authored by: lamon on Apr 14, '03 06:02:29PM

I almost consistently freeze my mac when transferring files larger that a few
hundred Ks when logged from my mac to my PC usig SMB. Glad to know I am
not alone in that case. I suspect it is because the PC runs W95. Logging from
the PC to the mac works, but there are other issues (on the PC side). The best
method I've found seems to be using ftp with the mac as a server.
