    Are you interested in getting files transferred, or in the act of transferring them?

    You can copy files to/from disk images with CiderPress or another disk
    image utility. It also provides conversions for certain types of files.
    If you want to set up "live" transfers using IIgs networking, that's a different question.

    I want to DL files and then transfer them to the emulated GS as well as transfer files from the emulated GS in order to covert them to different formats.

    Where "file" might mean what, exactly? It'll be different if you mean:
    1) full disk images (i.e bootable games)
    2) .shk/.bxy-type collections of files
    3) individual (i.e. text) files

    But mostly I use disk images and CiderPress (Windows) or AppleCommander (Java/everywhere) because that relieves me of having to do any
    networking at all. :-)

    2) .shk/.bxy-type collections of files 3) individual (i.e. text) files

    But mostly I use disk images and CiderPress (Windows) or AppleCommander (Java/everywhere) because that relieves me of having to do any

    I'd like to DL files from the emulated GS for conversion, and now that
    you mention it, possibly UL .shk/.bxy-type files.

    To be clear...
    I would like to transfer files to/from my GSPort emulated GS and the host machine... emulated/virtual serial or something like that.

    An ideal solution for you, depending on your host, is back on the KEGS mothership - if you're on Linux or Mac, Kent has a direct link to the
    hosting filesystem called Dynapro:
    http://kegs.sourceforge.net/

    That is the thing that will give you seamless access to files back and
    forth.

    Other solutions are going to involve a networking solution such as
    TCP/IP and then a file transfer mechanism such as FTP. You'd need an intermediate AppleTalk server if you want to go the shared filesytem
    route in GSport, directions are currently available for Windows: https://david-schmidt.github.io/gsport/appletalk.html

    Thanks. I have DLed the tarball.
    Hopefully compiling will go smoothly.

    Got it running. Apparently compiling isn't necessary. I'dd start looking
    into Dynapro.
    Thanks again.
