Compatibility
AFP versions 3.0 and greater rely exclusively on TCP/IP (port 548 or 427) for establishing communication, supporting AppleTalk only as a service discovery protocol. The AFP 2.x family supports both TCP/IP (using Data Stream Interface) and AppleTalk for communication and service discovery. Many third-party AFP implementations use AFP 2.x, thereby supporting AppleTalk as a connection method. Still earlier versions rely exclusively on AppleTalk. For this reason, some older literature refers to AFP as "AppleTalk Filing Protocol". Other literature may refer to AFP as "AppleShare," the name of the Mac OS 9 (and earlier) AFP client.
Mount AFP volumes from the terminal Network

This one's really handy.
First make a directory in /Volumes for the volume you wish to mount, say idisk, for example. You could mount it anywhere, but /Volumes is the logical spot for it:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/idisk
then mount the volume...
sudo mount -t afp afp://user:[email protected]/user /Volumes/idisk
That's it! To unmount, use the umount command:
sudo umount /Volumes/idisk
mavericks still supports afp
did u even turn on filesharing on your mac os 9 mac?
turn it on and wait for it to start up it takes awhile to start up
i just connected to mine from snow leopard and it works fine
dont even need to mount from terminal just CMD-K and type
afp://ipadress from the osx machine and it will connect to the mac os 9
machines filesharing
the other way around doesnt work
i honestly havent tried macnfs but afp works amazing 100% solid
i transfer toast images no problem and never a problem and always extremely fast
for the record ive never had a file transfer error using AFP fileserver + AFP
its been Amazing.. and i highly highly reccomend it its made going between my mac os 9 macs + windows machines + osx machines. literally a dream. so easy..
highyl reccomend it

Yes, me too. But as I wrote in my previous post It does not work anymore in the newest OSX release (Mavericks).
Hence the NFS stuff. If you or anyone else figures out how to make Mavericks and Mac OS 9.2.2 talk AFP with each other I would be very happy! :)
Mavericks still supports AFP, yes, but Apple have dropped support for the older protocol versions. You get "unrecognized protocol version" when you try to access Mavericks from OS9 and the same the other way around. Trust me, I have spent endless hours searching the net and configuring both the MDD and the two Mavericks machines we have.
im quite sure thers a way to get afp configured to work even with mac os 9 properly given all of the properties in the preferencesbut i realize english is not your first language.. so its cool, "bro" ;)
None of these solutions work with Mavericks.
The best alternative I've heard of other than this NFS approach is discussed here:

BUT IF YOU (OR ANYONE ELSE READING THIS THREAD) REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS WORK -> MAVERICKS CONNECTING TO MAC OS 9 FILE SHARING VIA AFP I SUGGEST INVESTIGATING THESE METHODS IN THIS ARTICLE:
Connecting to legacy AFP services
Learn how to enable legacy authentication methods for the AFP client in OS X Lion or later, so that you can connect to older AFP servers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200160?viewlocale=en_US
i have a hunch + strong belief that it is possible to make it work.. and that these are hidden settings that can be changed..
once educated on how to do so
Bashing my language skills (which in fact are very good) and calling me "bro" after is not really helping,
and only makes you look like a condescending jerk.
I have never mentioned your disturbing way of writing, without using uppercase letters when starting a sentence or using "u" instead of "you".
I think that you are very condescending right now, and I don't really want to continue this conversation.
To clarify, I'm talking about OS9 not at all being able to access Mavericks AFP shares and Mavericks not being able to access OS9 AFP shares. Not that AFP is gone in Mavericks. It's there, I use it every day, but it's not backwards compatible with the version OS9 uses. Not in any way.

Personal to-do list for this Guide:
Determine how much memory System 7 will address in 24 bit mode.
Test Optima and Maxima with a 24-bit only application -- i.e. The Dungeon of Doom, Thexder, Rex Nebular... in System 6. Report on memory available.
Test IPNetRouter.
Play with MacWWW under System 6 and report the results.
Using 10.7 and 10.8, test the "legacy" AFP authentication mode with 8.1 or suitable "old client" and 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2. If connection is successful, create new AFP 10.7 and 10.8 sections.
Can a 512K with the HD20 init read 400KB HFS disks? Can the 128Ke borrow the HD20 init to read the same?
Try using LocalTalk Bridge on a bridge mac to communicate a 10.5+ Mac through the bridge Mac with LocalTalk bridge to something like a Plus. Note: has to be something like a G3/233 beige model with 9.2.
Fiddle with MacTerminal 1.1 and see what happens on a 512K. If positive results are produced, add section under the terminal emulators area. Also test it on a 128K if you can, and if you add the section, toss this link in a passing note.
AFP bridge test with Netatalk and Windows 2K Server with AS1.1.
Verify that 10.6 setup and procedure is like 10.5.
After another reboot, the AFP shares are now working again.

AFP (the Apple Filing Protocol) is the protocol Apple Macintoshes use for file services. The protocol has evolved over the years. The latest changes to the protocol, called "AFP 3.3", were added with the release of Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
I'm not following this thread (just by moderation request). But I have the Netatalk version problem in one of Linux machines of mine. I cant upgrade the Linux version because the Netatalk upgrade lost the ability to be connected to a Mac Os 9 machine...
the problem is the netatalk server component itself
in version 3.x they drop support for Appletalk over ip -consulting the manual its easy to see this appletalk section is omitted in the 3.x but present in 2.x
but in version 2.x they still support this
this is why snow leopard works while lion + above do not
im wondering if theres a way to downgrade the netatalk component compiling it yourselfIn linux this some times can be done force installing the old version... but this is not a ordinary procedure... may be this way in Mac Os X also...
to make it compatible..
this netatalk can be installed on
hi mactron
it would be great to figure out a way to enable true direct filesharing over AFP to mac os 9.
if it was a hack that we could understand 100% and continue to implement on even 10.10 that would be really cool
im trying to collect more information on this topic but its hard to find the details
especially when apple gives such vague error messages that tell u literally nothing
thats great to heat that AFP works for you with 10.5. but i believe the thread starter was talking about the outlandish combination of him & NFS & mavericks. :P
anyhow, if i was eone of you i would just user a server/client system to download stuff and then open it locally. on everything slower than gigabit ethernet it seems pointless to open files directly from a workgroup server.
