Transfering Files Between Older Macs and Between Macs and PeeCee's
Transfering Files Between Older Macs and Between Macs and PeeCee's
I have an iMac and a 4 meg Classic. I transfer files between the two machines using Fetch. On the iMac, upload the file. On the Classic Download it.
Another way is to email files to yourself as attachments using Eudora Lite. The Fetch method has the advantage that the file can be left at your ISP as a backup.
If you have a 030 68k Mac with a large enough HD, another easy way is to install Cyberdog which binhexes files automatically. To transfer a file from one machine to the other, all you have got to do is create a new folder, put the file into it, and drag it to the email window and click on send. Then on the other machine, just drag the enclosure to the DeskTop.

Other points.: Cyberdog is a bit slow to launch on a 68k Mac, so launch it before connecting to the Internet. You can run it on an 8 meg machine. It is all right with RAM doubler.
If you are game, there is an older crashy version of Cyberdog still available for download. I think there is no advantage memory wise in getting the older version. Cyberdog 2.0 is the version to get, PPC or 68k.
If you have limited memory on a 68k Mac, it is possible, I have been told, to run Cyberdog without OpenDoc. I have never tried it, and have no idea how you might do it.
If you install the Dog on an iMac, you need to hook the PPC version of "Memory Manager" extension of the the OpenDoc installer using Tome Viewer.

The reason for this is is that the OpenDoc installer has not been updated for the iMac, and it installs the 68k version. 68k Macs with a PPC upgrade card need the 68k version of Memory Manager.
