It's inside every Classic Workbench pack Full and above (look in 'my files')

Sorry to crash this old thread but where do the keys go? I cannot get it regged

EDIT: Scrap that! I sussed it out

fitzsteve · 02 August 2014, 22:03

The Key files in the drawer 'DX Keys' go in the same location you installed MiamiDX.

ElectroBlaster · 03 August 2014, 03:50

Thanks Steve

I finally sussed it after googling.

I do have one other question though, can I access and see the amiga with a windows or linux machine? for file sharing.

The last time I had an amiga on the internet was around 1997/98. This was fed by a Trust 56k serial dialup modem on the Eclipse network. Those were the days lol

Its a pain in the arse to set up a samba server so that you can see the amiga drive on windows/linux.

MUCH easier to set up the samba client so that you can access your windows/linux machine FROM the amiga.

Perhaps a FTP server on the amiga is easier (should be), but with samba, I would not bother.

I just use amitradecenter on the miggy to access a shared folder on my Nas drive. On the pc I just drop any files into there that I want the miggy to be able to access.

ElectroBlaster · 04 August 2014, 20:23

Hmm being a little lazy I pulled Amigatradecenter over into Winuae and ClassicWB Full to give it a quick once over.

It crashes? every single time I load it it just bombs out...

Is this just a bug within Winuae?

crazyc · 04 August 2014, 20:35

I haven't used it under winuae being honest. Just under cwb 3.9 on a real a1200 as per my signature . I have the right click menu option to access my Nas which runs Miami and then atc immediately. No crashes here.

ElectroBlaster · 04 August 2014, 20:38

I am hoping this is just Winuae being finnicky!

I shall get this sorted out and installed on the real thing in a bit

crazyc · 04 August 2014, 22:12

I am trying to find a way to skip the first screen where you choose the server, and go straight to a specified server, either by tooltype or cli. That would make it perfect for me.
Am away from miggy till Sunday but will provide any insights I can from memory in the mean time if it helps.

Samba is a PITA to set up indeed, but if accessing a NAS share from the Amiga is good enough then SMBFS would do fine. It's a Samba client rather than server. You can use it with SMBMounter to get a nice GUI...

Alternatively, RC-FTPd is excellent for accessing the Amiga from Windows, Linux etc. as an FTP site.

Really? I never felt like this. It's basically about adding some entries into the inetd config. Then you can already open SWAT in a web browser which gives you a nice GUI and a lot of help to create a configuration.

In fairness it took me a couple of goes to set up properly - in my case editing the config files wasn't that straightforward. I can't remember what exactly the issue was but it went beyond the installation guide and at the time that meant a struggle for me as I didn't have that much experience.

I can copy that. Last time I tryed it with an Amithlon setup it took me a few days to get samba working with Win XP. Years later and after upgrading to Win7 I gave up on trying again.

Just use AmigaExplorer. It's just two clicks.
