Personally I have ethernetcard in my Amiga... I've used a nfs deamon on
the PC and is (normally) running a ftp server and samba server on the
Amiga side. However if you do have the netcards I suggest you make a link
with Siamese software and/or the Amiga forever package. I havn't tried
them myself, but AFAIK they are better solutions. The Amiga would benefit
greatly from the MiamiDX or AmiTCP Genesis if want a real network.
Otherwise ... AmiTCP 3 is free and Miami is shareware I think (Very
usable I think)

Alternatives would be a special parallel link (faster than serial, but
you need to build it yourself) or a simple serial null-modem (esp. if you
got some kind of HS serial port on Amiga).

Ethernet is in my opinion the best solution.
