Transferring large files to Megafile

[naujoks]

What's the best way to transfer large files (ie larger than 800kB) to a Megafile HD with an Atari ST?

I have a Gotek floppy, but it too only can do disks up to 800kB large.

Also, how can I transfer individual files? Disk images in .ST is no problem, of course. But how to transfer .PRG files, say?

The best way is to use a netusbee where you can transfer files over the network. There is a program also that you can transfer over serial cable that I used to use. But netusbee is way much faster and easier.

 

Cosmosex is also a fantastic device that you can do a lot of other things too, but good luck finding one.

PARCP-USB is available and works great.

 

almost plug and play (I also have netusbee and cosmosEX and the cable is my preferred method

Think you're referring to UIP tool?

Which really is a great tool for those with NetUSBee since it doesn't require any STing or any other setup.  It has all it needs, so you just run and go.  I use it to help remote-admin my BBS as well.

Awesome, thanks!

By the way, is there a convenient way to extract individual files from .ST disk images?

There was also a program called Splitter which could chop files into bits that would fit on a floppy disk. There were DOS and Atari versions iirc and you essentially chopped it on the PC and then stiched it back together on the ST.
