Has anybody ever figured out how to move files from pc to amig and vis versa.


Huh?

There's many ways...  FTP, NFS, Samba are all ethernet/network solutions, Null Modem connect, Parallel port connect, reading/writing PC disks on Amiga (CrossDOS), CD Roms (ISO, RockRidge, or even Joliet I believe a few Amiga progs support), Zip Disks (PC formatted), San Disk (If you have USB), need I go on?  

What are you trying to do?

Depends on if you're talking about a stock A500, or at least some expansions.  I had thought you were dealing with a more expanded Amiga.  (my bad)

The options on a stock A500 (AmigaOS1.3/1MB RAM) 1 floppy drive, are rather limited.  Small files can be put on a 720kB PC floppy and read/write on the Amiga with CrossDOS (provided you can find a copy of the old 1.3 CrossDOS diskette) Large files... well, what are you going to do with a large file on an Amiga with an 880kB floppy and 1MB RAM, anyhow?

If you tossed some extra RAM, AmigaOS 2 or greater, and a SCSI controller into the Amiga side, though, a lot more possibilities open up...
