Well, the easiest way is to use a serial to serial connection.  That is
to get a Serial card for the Apple if you dont' have one, and hook it
through a null modem cable to the serial port of the Mac.  Then use normal
communication software, (i.e. Ascii Express on the //+, MacTerm on the mac,
etc.)  then transfer.

Another way is to buy a 3.5 inch drive for the //+, then copy all the
software you want onto that disk.  Then the mac can directly read it.  There
are also various //e-in-a-mac emulation software, so you can run some
Apple // software on the Mac...
