It depends on what you mean by "get at these files". The program 'ash'
in the cap60/samples directory is a simple UNIX AppleShare client. It
can connect to a server, choose a volume and use 'cd', 'ls', 'get' and
'put' to move around and transfer files (it seems to want to have a 'tvol'
directory with the usual .finderinfo and .resource to collect things into).

The user interface is somewhat basic, it won't work on a SUN 4
architecture (alignment problem) and the .finderinfo files it produces
seem to be bogus ... if you just want to get to text files, it works fine.
If anyone has the time to work on it - please do!
