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.

sudo mount ernie:/media/music /var/music

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:
paul@laptop:~$
Machine Name=laptopWindows no longer obstructs my view.

1. do the following on both computers
Code:sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Code:sftp://11.22.33.44/
Really simple, isn't it? All you need to know is the IP address.
