I happen to have a SCSI ethernet adapter for my Macintosh SE FDHD, as well as a Mac Mini G4 running Mac OS X 10.4 running an FTP server. I want to get a bunch of software moved over to my Mac, and while I could use floppies... I'd rather do it with my ethernet adapter!
The problem that I continually run into: I can FTP over .SIT files no problem, but almost invariably, StuffIt Expander 4.0.2 (which I think is the newest I can run on System 7.0.1) can't open the .SIT files, due to them being created by a newer version of StuffIt.
This is super frustrating. It makes me want to go through all of my software, and re-archive everything in a format that every System 6/7 Mac can read with no trouble. What would the "best' application and format be for that, considering that I have System 7 and Mac OS X 10.4 (with Classic available) to work with?
