Update: added info on SheepShaver to the bottom of this answer. You don't even need to use SheepShaver's 'My Computer' feature to bring in the disk image - just add the disk image file to the Volumes list in your SheepShaver GUI, and it will show up as just another disk inside SheepShaver.Now you just have to transfer the one disk image file to the Windows machine.Once you've got everything you want to transfer in the disk image, drag the disk icon for it into the trash to unmount the image.Copy files on to the disk image using its disk icon on your desktop (like you would for a regular disk).Once the disk file has been initialized, an icon for it will show up on your desktop.

Once Disk Copy is done creating the blank file, it will mount it, and Mac OS will ask you to initialize the disk file.

Browse to where you want to save the file, give it a name for the disk file and click OK.

In the size drop down choose 'Custom.', choose 'MB', and enter a size big enough to hold the files you want to copy.

Go to the 'Image' menu and choose 'Create New Image.'.

(If your old Mac doesn't have it already, there are old versions on Apple's web site - in theory any PowerMac running the Classic Mac OS can use Disk_Copy_6.3.3.smi.bin - but to open the downloaded file you'll need to already have something on your Mac like StuffIt that can decode a MacBinary file) (Tried it with Mac OS 7.6.1, but 9.x should be similar). If you just want to get the files into SheepShaver, and you have enough free space on the old Mac's hard drive for another copy of the files you want to transfer, the easiest way to get all the original file names and resource forks across intact is to use a disk image file: Can I make Win7 way more flexible with filenaming, or is this failing because of an FTP convention?Д®dit: Once the old Mac files are on the Windows system, is there a Mac OS 9 emulation solution for Windows? It'd be nice to be able to use the Mac files. I am not a Mac or networking wizard, so maybe there's a way to share files that I'm missing. Is there some setting I can use to make this work better, or maybe another method of transfer? Or, am I stuck with the hit and miss tedium of doing this bit by bit? I'm using Fetch 4 on the Mac and FileZilla server on the PC. Though I can copy a file at a time or select a bunch and copy them, I would like to select entire folders without getting '501 Syntax Error' errors and invalid filename errors on some file tucked in some folder deep in the trees. The Mac is running OS 9 and, after some fiddling around for a while, I am able to copy files over to Windows via FTP.

Today I fired up a PowerMac 9500 that's been sitting dormant for 10 years, and I want to copy the data files over to my Windows 7 system (NTFS).
