Apple depreciated AFP (which is the successor over AppleTalk) since a bunch of year:
"Notable current compatibility topics are:
• Mac OS X v10.4 and later eliminates support for AFP servers that rely solely on AppleTalk for communication.
• Computers using classic Mac OS can connect to AFP 3.x servers, with some limitations. For example, the maximum file size in Mac OS 8 is 2 gigabytes. Typically, Mac OS 9.1 or later is recommended for connecting to AFP 3.x servers; for versions of original Mac OS prior to 9.1, installation of the AppleShare client 3.8.8 is required.
• AFP 3.0 and later is required for network home directories, since Mac OS X requires POSIX permissions on user home directories. Single sign-on using Kerberos requires AFP 3.1.
• APFS: AFP is incompatible with sharing of APFS volumes but is still usable as a Time Machine destination in High Sierra. "

However, Samba-shares still pose different vulnerabilities and the Infinity Loop's decision to abolish AFP and move everything over to SMB is a different discussion not to be taking place on Avil-L2, imho.

Found the solution I had to turn on SMB sharing the mac pro just had AFP sharing checked. I had already enabled SMB sharing on my old iMac so it could file share with an even older iMac running 10.10.5 OS. I don't understand what the difference between AFS and SMB are but after googling I found Mojave only shares APFS drives/partitions over SMB. My head is full of alphabet soup now but I can see all the disks now in both directions. From this I assume the Mac OS extended volumes share over AFP and the APFS share over SMB. What a BFD my brain is SOL. What's next some sort of Font problem and you know I HATE FONTS!!!
