There is a program which does it over serial ports for simple file transfer — Twinex. There is not an inexpensive or simple way to do it with Ethernet. You could buy TCP/IP for both platforms. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com

I use Amiga TCP/IP software and similar software on the PC. Which operating system are you using on the PC?

The Amiga side is sort of expensive. You'd need to get an ethernet card, and they run about $300.00 or so depending on which card you get. As far as software goes you can download the AmiTCP suite of programs from here (I think it's here). On the PC side, you'd of course need an ethernet card (they're much cheaper for PCs) and the software for PCs is really varied. You could spend about $500.00 for one of the comercial TCP/IP suites of programs, or you can get freeware/shareware ones available on CIS in either the IBMCOM or UNIXFORUM. With the drivers for the PC you'll need a packet driver for your particular network card (there is an archive with all kinds of drivers, I don't remember their name, but they used to be called the Clarkson drivers), then either NCSA's Telnet, and/or WATTCP's TCP/IP, and/or WinQVT's TCP/IP (the last one is for windows). being that these all use the same packet drivers you can actually mix & match these programs the way you want if you like to get a better mix of programs. (of course the Windows program is seperate, and only runs when windows is running. Of these, I've found that the Windows one is the most complete of them, allowing me to ping the PC from the Amiga, it has an FTP client & server, etc where the DOS programs were mostly client based.
