Compact Mac 7.6.1 to OSX 10.5.8 File Sharing?
Posted by: rickrob on 2016-01-26 13:39:35
Has anyone successfully connected to 10.5.8 with OS 7.6.1?  

I have OT 1.3 and Appleshare 3.8.3 on the 7.6.1 Mystic CC Mac and the 10.5.8 Mac Mini has personal file sharing on.  I can't see the 10.5.8 mac in the 7.6.1 chooser, but I can find it by IP number. The 7.6.1 mac then shows a registered user dialog briefly, then skips that and brings up a guest dialog.

I select Apple Standard UAMS and try to mount a CD that's shared.  I get a type 1 error right there every time.

Everything works with 10.4.11 including the OS X machine appearing in the 7.6.1 Chooser and the correct user dialogs showing. 

I'm guessing something changed in AFP from 10.4 to 10.5 and this isn't going to work anymore.

I haven't gone through all the steps myself but the process is documented here.

The original thread on 68kmla is here.

Edit: Oh!  My mistake this might not help with your problem at all. 🙁
