Does anybody know of a simple way to enable file transfer between an Ubuntu Jaunty desktop and a laptop running Jaunty?
So far (on my laptop) I've right clicked the network connections, created a new network and enable sharing on various files. I can detect and join that network with my desktop and can even see the shared files on my laptop. It asks me for a password though when I try to access them via > Network>windows network>workgroup. I have installed something called ssh also, although I'm unsure what it is for exactly. I know about Samba but with my limited knowledge of Linux it's way over my head at the moment.
Thats my only complaint about Linux - nothing seems designed for entry level, it seems more geared towards people who are already gurus in other operating systems.
Desktop is ethernet wired to Netgear router, laptop is wireless.
Cheers.
