PC To Amiga

[Prime]

Sorry for posting this here; It is kind of a software and hardware issue I suppose, but it could go either way.

I have an Amiga 3000 I am outfitting with UAE.
I have UAE exactly how I want it, so now its time to get it on the Amiga 3000.
Here is what I have tried:

#1 Zip / LHA / LHZ the entire file hierarchy.  These all compress fine with zip/lha/lzh (I have tried all 3).
But when I burn these files to a cdrom when I try unzip it on the A3000 I always get CRC errors in a few of the files. (All of these test fine on the PC side and even un-compress fine on the PC side but not the A3000)

#2 Simply copy the whole directory structure directly to a CD then copy from the CD back to the A3000.
The first problem I had is I burned it as a Joliet and all of the file names got truncated.
Then I burned it as an ISO-9660 Mode 1. This seemed to work beautifully but all of the file names (atleast the ones without a . extension)  for some weird reason on the amiga side have a trailing . (period) after the file names.
Example:

VirusX.
VirusX.info
ToolsX.
ToolsX.info
program.
program.info

So it seems those files without extensions have a . added to the end for some really weird reason, yet on the PC side they aren't there.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks for the insight so far;

I agree that a CF card reader would work awesome (I did this on my A1200).
The problem is I dont have a CF card reader for my A3000.
Ethernet is another great idea, however I dont have an ethernet card.
My only option (without spending any money) is to transfer by floppy, null modem cable (terribly slow) or by cdrom.

How about this, Does the AMI command RENAME have some kind of wild card where I can do a:

Rename Program. to Program
but a wild card solution like:
Rename *. to * so it does all the files?
Remember; I want to remove all the trailing periods in all the file names with trailing periods.

That would work too, but the nagging question is, why do archives made on UAE give CRC errors only in some of the files in the archive when I unarchive them on a real Amiga? It seems to be random as well. This happens with Zip, Lha and LZH. They unzip fine on the pc side, but on a real amiga they croak.


Thanks,
