Two other ways to download from mac to gs:

1.  DuplicateIIGS

If you use MPW, there's a utility in the MPW IIGS package called duplicateiigs.
It's based on the same ProDOS read/write engine as Apple File Exchange, but
don't worry:  We fixed the slow back-n-forth write algorithm, added a read/
write cache, enabled multiple file copying and deep directory access, and 
included the ability to read and write resource forks (remember, AFX was
written before the GS had resource forks.  It will strip them.  That's why
we don't use it much anymore).  The current duplicateiigs is quite fast, and
we use it as a primary tool here for program development.

2.  System 7.0

If you are lucky enough to have a beta copy of the newest Mac system disk,
you can string a LocalTalk wire from it to your GS, and use the new "Personal
AppleShare" feature to make any portion of your Mac's hard disk into a
file server.  File down-and-uploading becomes a finder copy.  You can even
run GS programs directly out of your Mac's hard disk.
