Simon,

The following work:

[best method]
1.  Install DAVE to make your Mac a Windows Client and install the SAMBA
package on the SGI: SAMBA makes IRIX disks/partitions appear as Windows
shares and are therefore accessible from Mac/DAVE [I haven't tried this,
but I am assured that it works]. DAVE is available from
<http://www.thursby.com>

[not-very elegant methods]
2. FTP to the SGI from the Mac.

[not a network method]
3. Attach a Zip or Jaz drive to the SGI and insert a Mac cartridge, copy
the files to the cartridge and reattach the Zip/Jaz drive to the Mac.
