I have 2 computers both with Hardy. Both are connected to the same router and I want to be able to move files from one to the other. I have been searching here and on google and reading and trying different things but haven't figured out how to do it. The articles I have read don't really give the complete newbie version of how to do it. How can I do this or does anyone know of a good article on how to do it?

Re: Sharing files between 2 Kubuntu machines
That article is similar to some that I have tried. When I right click on the folder it does not look like that or give those options that are in the article. When I right click I can go to sharing and select boxes to share the file but when I hit ok nothing happens. If I go back the boxes are unchecked like I never did anything.Comment

Re: Sharing files between 2 Kubuntu machines
I like where that one is going with the step by step but when I get to this step
It's using "ernie" as the machine I am mounting but what do I place instead of "ernie" Is it the IP of the machine the name the user or some kind of combination?sudo mount ernie:/media/music /var/musicComment

Re: Sharing files between 2 Kubuntu machines
It's the name you gave your machine when you installed Kubuntu. Easy to know what that is. Just open a console. The name after the @ is the machine name. Mine:
User=paulpaul@laptop:~$
Machine Name=laptopWindows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Sharing files between 2 Kubuntu machines
All those articles seems to be quite complicated, I think I have a much simpler way:Originally posted by heylookitsmewow
1. do the following on both computers
2. if the other computer IP is 11.22.33.44, just type the following in the konqueror and you will be able to access the other computer:Code:sudo apt-get install openssh-server
when the dialog comes, just type user name and password in the other computer, you don't need to share anything because everything is shared.Code:sftp://11.22.33.44/
Really simple, isn't it? All you need to know is the IP address.
