Just tried connecting to my 10.4.11 Mac mini under System 6 and Fetch 2.1.2. No response.
System 7 does the same thing. System 7 cannot connect to this version of AppleShare, it says.
Bottom line: System 6 to 7 must use a 10.2.8 (10.3?) or earlier machine. FTP is still out in the open. For 7.5.5, the max you can connect to is 10.4.11 and only under OpenTransport (or FTP). (I'll try FTP soon to 10.5.8.) For 10.5 and above, you might need 7.6 minimum. For Windows, FTP might work, or you might be forced to use Shareway IP Personal, or DAVE. (I tried DAVE 4 at macintoshgarden.com, and it failed because it's for OS 8 and/or 9. You'll have to hunt down an older version.)
