There is quite a bit of information about it including how to make it work with your current network.  It takes a bit of soldering but hey, it's an Amiga, you should be used to doing that kind of stuff

It doesn't require soldering if it's got an AUI (D-sub 15) connector. Then all you need is a transceiver which is quite easy to find.

An ethernet transceiver connect to the 15-pin AUI port and has another ethernet connector on the other end. It looks like this.

Of course you can get it in NZ if you know the right people.

Another non-soldering solution is to get an old ethernet hub with both a BNC connector and some TP connectors. It should be easy to find, since such things are treated as junk nowadays.

Achtung:
I suppose you already know how to wire coaxial ethernet:

terminator - T-piece - Amiga - cable - PC - T-piece - terminator

Note that your PC's ethernet card will only be able to use one of its connectors at one time, so you can't have a TP cable connected to the card at the same time.

What is your problem?

Can you ping the PC from the Amiga or vice versa? If so, you can go ahead installing ml_ftpd from Aminet. Further questions are purely software related, so ask those in the software section.
