(Tried it with Mac OS 7.6.1, but 9.x should be similar). If you just want to get the files into SheepShaver, and you have enough free space on the old Mac's hard drive for another copy of the files you want to transfer, the easiest way to get all the original file names and resource forks across intact is to use a disk image file:

Can I make Win7 way more flexible with filenaming, or is this failing because of an FTP convention?Įdit: Once the old Mac files are on the Windows system, is there a Mac OS 9 emulation solution for Windows? It'd be nice to be able to use the Mac files. I am not a Mac or networking wizard, so maybe there's a way to share files that I'm missing. Is there some setting I can use to make this work better, or maybe another method of transfer? Or, am I stuck with the hit and miss tedium of doing this bit by bit? I'm using Fetch 4 on the Mac and FileZilla server on the PC. Though I can copy a file at a time or select a bunch and copy them, I would like to select entire folders without getting '501 Syntax Error' errors and invalid filename errors on some file tucked in some folder deep in the trees. The Mac is running OS 9 and, after some fiddling around for a while, I am able to copy files over to Windows via FTP.

Today I fired up a PowerMac 9500 that's been sitting dormant for 10 years, and I want to copy the data files over to my Windows 7 system (NTFS).
