Hello! so ive been interested lately in using another file sharing method with those older existing ftp software on windows 9.x to be compatible enough with a newer version of same program type, like on windows 95 osr for example, do you know a good method which works?

FTP is universal.

Standard Windows network shares also work between versions, up to XP or 7 if I am not mistaken. Windows 10 at least has issues with older versions. But I think there are ways to get around this.

If you make your shares on a common-denominator OS like NT4 or 2000, they'll work across the board.

Linux Samba is able to make shares that are compatible all the way back though.
