With my last try, I used ADF Sender Terminal. Tried to transfer a file called "transwarplong", before that i should type "type ser: to ram:transwarp" in the shell on the amiga. The transfer seemed to work on the pc, but then I should hit ctrl+c on the amiga... but nothing happens....

Feels so strange this should be so difficult when so many knows how to do it...
I really don't care about the speed, I just want connection and be able to load adf-files to diskettes for use on the amiga.

If there is such a thing as a straight forward, easy, step-by-step instruction on how to do it with just an amiga 500, a nullmodem cable and pc I would be a happy man.
Oy, this brings back some memories. For starters, have you verified that the null-modem connection is working? Try simply type ser: on the Amiga and send some text from the PC - does it show up correctly? If not, double-check that the serial settings are identical on both.

If that's working, then the transwarplong method should work just fine...
