Getting software on 7.1

I have a Color Classic that I need to be running 7.1 on (not 7.5) but I don't know how to get anything on to it. I can use floppies, but most stuff is bigger. None of the browsers I can get onto it will browse to anything. I do have an ethernet card installed. I have fetch, but I can't find an ftp server with a lot of software.

Do you have a modern computer on which you could install an ftp server? you could then download from the garden to the modern machine, then ftp from the classic.

It'll lose the resource forks cuz I'm on a Windows PC, that's the issue..

The resource forks of MacBinary and most of the archives from the garden don't matter.

There is also max1zzz's FTP server too, which has a lot on it.

When I try to connect to his FTP server through ftp, it doesn't work on my PC or through Fetch. Just index of / with nothing in it.

Strange. I get a full directory listing, and can download anything I want when I connect through FileZilla.
