Back to corrupt file names when FTPing from OS 9 to OS X.... 8) tortoise wrote: > Well for folders, if you are makeing backups you could / should put > them on diskimages.
Yes, that worked. A Disk Copy 6.3.3 disk image protected the file names, as did a .sit archive, and even a Compact Pro archive! Anyone remember those? - http://www.cyclos.com/compactpro.htm. (But a .zip archive made with StuffIt *didn't* work - names corrupted again.) But, well, it's kinda cumbersome. If you have lots of files it would take forever on a 90s-era Mac. And you need enough disk space for the image/archive as well as the source files. And maybe your image/ archive turns out to be too old a format for Snow Leopard, and you can't do a more recent one on your vintage machine. Stuffit 1.5.1? Disk Copy 4.2? ShrinkWrap? If a gotcha can getyer, it will. I'm sure we've all found that out. File-sharing just worked, dammit.

Transmit 1.7 works on OS 9, so maybe 8.6 too. In any case, Panic has an archive of old versions back to v1.0: ftp://ftp.panic.com/transmit/museum/ > I wonder if > there's anyone smarter than me who is working on programming the > proper Snow Leopard drivers to reinstate AFP protocols below 3.0. Or a version 3 for Classic OS. ShareWay IP did something like that once, to let OS 7/8 serve files over AppleShare IP. > That'd sure be nice. I wonder how deeply those are buried in the > system...
