Much the best thing is to install an ethernet card in the Amiga. (And of
course in the PC).

There is then a big choice of software that you could use. I just have
an FTP demon on the Amiga, but Samba is a possibilty if you want
something more cutting edge.

A serial port link would also be possible, but deadly
slow compared to Ethernet.
