I would like to be able to transfer files from a Risc PC to VRPC, running on a MBP 10.6.7.
So far I cannot get FTPc to contact the MBP as it stands, although a PowerBook running 10.4.11 works fine. The MBP name is Peter Q Blackburn (3). Would the parentheses cause problems with Risc OS? I can't enter them in the host config panel. I don't know why the MBP has done this, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. FTP in the file sharing pane of System Prefs shows the IP that I use for my usual home net work connection to a router, so not the same as the IP when connecting to the RPC.
If I could get the files into the VRPC it would be more convenient, so I wonder if I can do this.
I guess I would configure the MBP to a local IP and connect with ethernet, then use FTPc on either the RPC or VRPC to make the transfer. Does this sound right. Has anybody done it?
Any tips welcome.
TIA -- pqb
