Sometime I use some older Apple hardware. Today i tried a PowerMac 7200/90 running MacOS8.0. Now i wanted to transfer some files from and to a Computer which is contented to the internet. After some try and Failing (Diskdrive, ZIP and NAS) i came to the conclusion to use a OS9.2.2 or maybe OSX 10.4.11 as a Fileserver. Just to connect the OS8 computer to the network and connect it to one of those 2.

But how? I could not find any useful information about folder sharing on OS9.

you would probably want to use 9.22 for sharing to OS8, I dont think there was any support in Tiger for OS8-era filesharing. but i am probably not the best person to answer that as all my stuff is 9.2 or later.

as I recall, you had to enable file sharing in the control panel for it, and then, you do a command-I for get info on the thing you want to share, and there was an option to enable sharing for the folder in that info window.

It worked. At least from OS 9.2.2. From 10.4 it didn't indeed.

It's easier than expected and almost self explaining. But somehow it shared my hole drives and not the share folder i wanted to share. But anyhow it worked.
