Title: transfer between 2 amigas
Post by: lionstorm on October 08, 2003, 08:02:22 AM

Hi all,
Until now I use Ncomm to transfer files between my 2 A1200s but it can transfer only one file at a time = you have to upload (on on cpu) and download (on the other cpu)  for each file. So is there another program to let me see the contents of the HD of both machines (som,ething like dopus does) ? I now only one but I dont wnat to use it (samba).

Envoy is what you are looking for.
It can share the harddisks, printers, everything betweeen your Amigas.

A cheap and cheerful solution is PARnet over a parallel cable.

Other possibilities.
Install an ftp-server, you can access it with DOpus ftp feature. I'm using the one from AmiTCP.

Install NetFS, it can mount devices over network like Envoy and samba.

(hint, hint, if you are using miami you can lend ftpd and netfs-server from the AmiTCP demo)

tintin,

ParNet is an excellent program via the parallel port. But, you failed to mention that is does require a modified parallel cable. Years ago I manufactured a module that incorporated the necessary wiring changes. No more hacking up a parallel cable. This module was only $15.
