Success! I finally got ftp to work between Debian and the mac-osx. The problem was that the ip address I assigned the mac wasn't the same block. Thanks for all the advice. (and I sure feel stupid) But I was still puzzled as to why netatalk wouldn't work; I couldn't mount at all. So I plugged in

Thanks for all the useful suggestions, but I'm still having problems getting things to work. I installed netatalk, and the Mac can see my machine, but cannot connect to it (it gives the error: files are already mounted locally). I then tried to ftp to the Mac, which had file sharing on and should

First, you need to install netatalk on the Linux box. It is set up to handle printing, too, though I haven't gotten it working with my setup (Mac laptop that I use for work), mostly due to sheer laziness. You will have to put a home subdirectory for your son on the Linux box. Good luck Cam *
