How do I transfer files from OS 8.5 Mac to OS 10.5 Mac?

I need to get some Clarisworks files from a 5400 to an E-mac. I have MacLinkPlus on the E-Mac for the translation, but need help in hooking the two up. I have File Sharing on both. Can this be done with ethernet (phone) cabling or through the printer ports? I even have Airport on the E-Mac and a Airport Express base station I could (maybe) hook to the 5400! (Wife would like to use the files at school.)
Thanks for any help or direction on this.
 
this simplest way is this :
  1. turn on filesharing (afp) on both computers
  2. connect them with an ethernet cable - it might have to be a cross-over cable depending on whether any of the ethernet ports is autosensing
  3. connect to the 5400 from the eMac and transfer the files
 
Sorry, have them connected, but can't get the two to talk. Have tried FileSharing, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Can't find the right address for 5400.
(EMac: Go-Connect to Server...can't find address)
