I read the tutorial about connecting to an OS X file server, and it got me wondering.. http://system7today.com/osxfilesharing 1. Would it be possible to set up a fileserver on Linux / Raspberry Pi and connect to it with a System 7 emulator. Either on a separate machine, or on the same machine (running MacintoshPi Basilisk II System 7.5.5 on Raspberry Pi 3, which runs on Linux). 2. Do the HD limits (4GB in my case) apply to File Servers too? Could I, for instance, host ALL my cd images on the File Server. And mount them by double-clicking... do the files on NFS volumes retain the resource fork and creator etc? |

I use my Raspberry Pi as a NextCloud server. NextCloud uses webdav and Goliath available in Macintoshgarden is a webdav client. I have ny server setup encrypted using tls to connect, so I cannot access it directly with system7, but if using emulation then files can be moved from NextCloud to the host and accessed on System7 running on Sheepshaver or qemu. There is a prebuilt image of NextCloud for the Raspberry Pi and setup up is quite easy. Nextcloud is very handy. I have not ran into any problems moving files from OS to OS.

There are two ways to get this done reliably. 1) Via an SMB/Samba share and DAVE, which should work right out of the box. 2) With FTP via tools like [url-https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/fetch-212]Fetch[/url]. CAUTION: This requires for you to setup a plain FTP server in the Linux side, which will be near impossible to secure (passwords transmitted in clear text). Alternate solutions like NFS never worked on my 8.1 OS, but your mileage may vary on a 7.x box. Yet NFS shares are difficult to secure and were never considered too reliable for data transfers. That 4GB limit is caused by your own side's filesystem and thus can not be bypassed.
