Amiga Explorer vs. my intelligence

[Thomas]

As soon as the script finishes, the copying of real files from the PC to the Amiga starts.

Well, I never went through this mess myself as I already have an ethernet connection between Amiga and PC. But IMHO you are missing something here. I guess the script copies the Amiga part of Amiga Explorer to the Amiga (a program called AmigaExplorer). You have to start this program on the Amiga before you start using Amiga Explorer on the PC.

And make sure you copy the program to your harddisk rather than the Ram Disk, so you don't need to run the setup again.

Just out of curiosity, do you get a serial cable, or a null modem cable ?

A straight serial cable won't work. You need a null modem cable to use Amiga Explorer.

The answer is obvious: he successfully transferred the setup program so the cable works and this means it is a nullmodem cable (because a straight cable won't work, as you say).

Did you actually *run* the AExplorer program on the Amiga ? Just copying it is not enough.

AExplorer opens a window with either a protocol if the start was successful or an error message if it failed. Was the start successful ?
