It sounds as if you want to mount a Macintosh volume on the Linux box  
using network file sharing. I don't think you can do exactly what you  
want, but I might be wrong. There is something on Linux called  
"netatalk," that simulates AppleTalk networking, but I don't know  
whether YDL has it installed, nor how to turn it on. :-(

Thanks, Evan!

To my knowledge, there are no ssh *servers* for Mac OS 9. However, here  
are a couple of clients:

NiftyTelnet SSH <http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/freeware/niftyssh/>
MacSSH and MacSFTP <http://pro.wanadoo.fr/chombier/>

I have used both NiftyTelnet and MacSFTP (long ago), and both are nice  
applications.

By the way, for Macintosh applications, a better place to search than  
Google is VersionTracker:

Best wishes,
Clint
