Connecting a OS9 computer with a OSX computer and sharing files

do you have appletalk turned on the OSX machine?

 

I file share between 10.2.1 and 9.2.1 occasionally

I've found that I can view the OS9 Hard disk in OSX, but I can't view the OSX hard disk in OS9.


This is how I share between OSX and OS9:

Set up a file sharing account for the OSX computer on the OS8/9 computer(s). Turn file sharing on and allow the OSX computer to "Read and Write" to the OS8/9 hard drive(s) by choosing "Sharing" from "Get Info" on your HD (on the desktop, highlight your HD icon and do Command + I). In the "Users/groups" section, select the OSX computer's username and to the right of that choose "Read & Write". Close this window.

In OSX, set up a user profile for the OS8/9 computer(s) by clicking on the "Accounts" pane in System Prefs.

Plug the computers into the network and start up Apple talk and File sharing on the OSX and OS8/9 computer(s).

On the OSX computer, choose "Connect to Server" from the "Go" menu in the Finder. After a while, you should see the OS8 and/or OS9 computer listed.

Highlight this and click "Connect". Type in the password and the rest should be self-explanatory.


I don't know how to get the OSX hard drive to appear on the OS8 or OS9 desktop - that's something I'd like to find out myself

 

i run 9.2.2 on a G4 400 at work, i can mount my hard drives running 10.3.5 on a G4 800, i just connect using my username and password full r/w access??? i have personal file sharing on, appletalk on...

 

i hate networking in OS X, the OS 9 (and before) Chooser was so much better i thought, it seems so hit and miss every time i've conneected OS 9 and X computers
