Re: How to transfer PC to Amiga
« on: January 15, 2010, 02:15:04 PM »
I also am trying to transfer files from my pc to my Amiga 4000 with no luck.  I have tried Amiga Explorer (trial), but cannot get it to connect.  I don't want to buy it unless I know it works.  Cloanto says that you can use just the pc side software and it will load necessary files the first time it connects (via serial) to the Amiga, but it also says the trial version is limited to files of 1K only.  I suspect this to be my problem.  I have verified the pinouts on my null modem cable and tried connecting with XP and Vista (virus and FW turned off). If I have room inside the 4000, should I get a network card for my Amiga?  If so, any recommendations?

Amiga 4000, WB3.0, Toaster 4000, Kitchen Sync w/S-Video Card, 20Mb HD and 120MB HD.  I also have an Amiga 500, bone stock.

Thanks in advance.

Did you right click the Icon on the Windows side and run the Setup?

I guess FTD (follow the directions) or FTFD in this case would have been appropriate.  Worked like a champ.  Thank you so much, mbueler!

I will also follow amyren's advice for copying data via a floppy from pc to Amiga as I would like to be able to do that (but haven't been able to).

I was hoping, for reliability, to replace the hard drives in the Amiga with a CF card. Now that I can transfer files, I will reread the forums on how to prep that card for the different partitions needed.  

Thanks again!
