Title: Amiga to PC Xfer
Post by: on December 28, 2002, 01:17:14 PM

I have looked long and hard but cannot find anything whch can transfer files from a PC running Win2k to an Amiga. I have Network PC from Weired Science but that only works on Win9x. (Well... that's a lie but it wont support Long filenames in Win2k) Any help?
I would prefer shareware as opposed to paying for anything else as I am broke because of XMas :(

Cheers for any help offered

Have you looked at Aexplorer from cloanto?
http://www.cloanto.com/amiga/explorer/

It works great with a null modem cable & win2k
It cost $20 as a stand alone product.

@SaGaiA
Get PC2Amiga from here: PC2Amiga (http://www.winuae.de/englisch/down.html) . I've used this with W2k. IIRC it don't mention W2K support but it does work.
Tip: use something like DOpus with it as you'll get the directories (err, Folders) loaded quicker.

I used a free program called wartrans, but i think you need an amiga500 or atleast an amiga with kick1.3 to get it working.... Just search for it on google.

Was VERY slow though.... if i recall right, it took hmm 15-20 mins or so to transfer a 880k adf image

Why not SAMBA?  I use it on my Amiga to shuttle files to and fro on my network of mainly Win2k systems.  Just remember to setup plain text passwords if you're using a WinNT variant.  It can be abit of a pain to get SAMBA installed and configured but, it's worth the pain, IMHO.
