The company Consultron has produced two packages called respectively 
"CrossDOS" and "CrossMAC" which are file systems from the Amiga and gives 
it the ability to read/write PC/Mac disks. From version 2.1 (i think it 
was) of the Amiga operative system the crossdos package came with the 
machine.

Or you could get a "normal" serial cable and a mac one and plug the two 
machines together. Then get a terminal program for each.
"Z-Term" a shareware program for the Macintosh and "NComm" (or perhaps 
"Term") for the Amiga, make sure they talk at the same speed, 57600 is 
possibly a good one. Use the Zmodem transfer protocol to transfer a lot 
of files in one go.

It's a lot slower than a network but it's cheeper than buying an ethernet 
card for the Amiga :)

I should think http://www.jumbo.com can provide the necessary software.
