| Amiga Explorer works great. I recommend that you get a copy of it for file-sharing
purposes. I use Samba, which runs over ethernet connections, so it's much
faster than the 115,200 BAUD serial connection that I used to use with
Amiga Explorer

| Amiga Explorer works over Ethernet too, and it's quite fast in that mode, actually. For example, when you open a directory, because it has low-level knowledge of what it was asked to do on the Amiga side, it allows the Windows side to see the content almost at once, rather than one item at a time. And it also creates virtual floppy, hard drive and ROM images, etc., (they look like additional files to the Windows side) and it shows you Amiga attributes, even Amiga file and disk properties, which Samba can't.
In any case, you can use Samba, Dfs and other protocols at the same time as Amiga Explorer, as IANA reserved a public port for it. If you have a firewall be sure that port 356 is open, and that's it. |

| Amiga Explorer works really well as a file transfer mechanism over TCP/IP. I use it in preference to SMBFS etc. because it is much faster and more intuitive.
My only gripe is the restrictions on what operations can be performed on the virtual files. (E.g can't directly edit) which may be resolved since the last version I had is quite old.
It would be really cool to have something that worked as easily to show Windows files on the Amiga, without having to mess about with shares and passwords for Samba. |

| It does make one wonder, Cloanto manage to ship a Vista version of their software within a few weeks, whilst Apple, Adobe etc struggle to make their software work with this new incarnation of Windows.

Really? At the time I was using Amiga Explorer, I only had a serial port available for my
A4000T, it wasn't until sometime later that I bought an ethernet card for the A4000T.
