I'd use the LCIII as a file server for the IIgs. Use a Mac
printer cable to connect the two via AppleTalk and then use
the Mac to pull files off the net. I'd recommend System 7.5.5,
iCab for http and Fetch for ftp and Appleshare v3 on the Mac.






I'd throw out the Mac LC III, get an Uthernet for the IIgs,
plug the Uthernet into your Router, and use the IIgs to get
files straight from the internet itself. It works great and
will help Glenn to do even bigger and better things like USB
for the IIgs, and maybe the IIe as well. Also, the Uthernet
works on the IIe, too.




Can I use Contiki to FTP files to a //e?  Any others?

Hi Michael,
yes you can use Contiki to FTP files to a IIe ... the client is bare bones though and could use some TLC to make it be a little more useful. 

I guess I'm wondering if it is a viable replacement for 1.4MB disk
or CFFA sneakernet.  Any file size limitations?  Speed?


Not sure what you meant about others?


I just wondered if there were any alternatives for file transport.
Sounds like the answer is no.
