Hi all,

I need to transfer a bunch of files from a Mac 7600/120 running MacOS 7.5.3
to an Intel box running Redhat Linux 4.1 (kernel 2.0.27).  I'll only need
to do it once. Is there an easy solution?

I have a 3Com 3C900-COMBO NIC installed on the Linux box (10baseT), and the
Mac has 10baseT Ethernet built into it. The Mac has a TCP/IP stack (Open
Transport), so can't I just run an Ethernet cable between 'em and xfer the
files using FTP? Do I need to install a hub between the two boxes?

Or can I just do this with a serial connection somehow, and bypass
Ethernet? I don't care about speed - this is a non-production environment
where I can just leave both boxes to do the xfer through the night.

I installed netatalk under Linux. It compiled OK, I updated the conf files
etc., but nothing seemed to happen when I tried to login to AppleShare
(i.e. nothing appeared in the Chooser window). Any ideas? Is this overkill
anyway since all I'm trying to do is move some files across?

Should I look into Samba a bit more?

Any help would be REALLY appreciated! Please e-mail me at pete@sgt.com.au,
or post to comp.os.linux.networking.

Many thanks,
Pete
