I'd like to be able to remote connect in (like SSH) to a Mac Classic laptop to retrieve some files. It's been forever since I've used Classic and I've forgotten everything. Is there a remote login setting or something?

Classic Mac OS had built-in file sharing (AFP), but it never had a shell or command-line environment of any kind. The best way to retrieve files would probably to set up TCP/IP, enable file sharing over TCP/IP, double-check the owner user's name and password (reset if necessary), and hope that the AFP client on your Snow Leopard machine is backwards-compatible with such an old version of AFP. Don't bother trying to browse for it, just note what IP address it got and connect by IP address.

You could setup ftp on either machine (probably on the OS X machine) and use an ftp client to upload. There have been no real changes to the ftp protocol in that time period.
