Thnk you soooo much!
Works better than anything else for me!
Great Idea
Thanks. I was going nuts how to send a couple of files to my other computer downstairs. Your idea worked like a charm.
As Noob as they get !!
Wow. Thank you so much. I was able to create the shares with Samba/Nautilas for other Windows users to share files, but I was going crazy trying to connect my 2 Linux boxes together !!! This made my day, and was so easy for even me to understand. Thanks again!
Bookmark in Dolphin
Hi,
Thank you, that was straight forward thanks to your tutorial.
I managed to do that in Nautilus but is there a way to open that folder in Dolphin and bookmark it so I do not have to fill the little form each time?

Using SSH to connect two computers
You are obviously very intelligent. I spent ages trying to find out how to do this.
Giver - sending folders
You must drag-and-drop to send a folder. It seems to handle folders within folders well, including very large ones. (distro Ubuntu 10.04)
How secure is this? I just
How secure is this?
I just did this between two ubuntu pcs in the same room and did not realize it was dependent on the internet connection until I disconnected the cable modem.
Is there a way to do this simply through the router without going God knows where just to connect to a computer in the same room.
It is secure
It is secure:
1. Your IP addresses are not accessible by internet users.
2. Even you use fix IP, it requires passwords to access.
you are the best
Tank you.
Sharing files over the Internet
Does this work outside the Local Area Network? Say I use a static IP service (such as no-ip) on one of my machines, will this method work that way? Or, does it only work in a LAN?
ssh
Thank you for this simple illustration of how to share files between two ubuntu computers. I have been looking for this for several weeks. I ran into all kind of fourms explaining how to edit various files and use other complicated commands. As a non-technical computer user I have been overwhelmed. It is amazing that this is so simple, yet others have made it sound so complicated. It works great!
