transfering files from PClinuxos to Kubuntu computer
 

I have two computers and I'd like to be able to transfer files between
them. One is running PClinuxOs 2007 and the other is running Kubuntu 6.06.

Is there an easy way to network them together so that I can transfer
files between them? Most of the time I would want to transfer from the
PClinuxOs machine to the other.

Thanks for your help.

nfs works great for me.
You will need to install the server on the Kubuntu machine and the
client on the PClinuxOs machine.
You will of course need to read some documentation on how to set it all
up - man nfs

You could instead think about setting up a local ftp server on the
Kubuntu machine.

NFS is supposed to be great, but the few times I've played with it, I couldn't
figure out how to set it up quickly enough, and I got bored.

What I've always done is more secure and easier to use than FTP though. I run
the ssh server on any box I want to copy files to, and simply scp or rsync
files there.

This sounds like more of a command line dork kind of approach though, and I
bet most normal humans would want to get NFS working, so they could drag and
drop across the network.

NFS is fine, I used it once (literally) years ago. Even for a newb-sans-clewb
it was not too hard to setup.

You can also try ssh, ftp and http.

I don't know as I've never tried this except on Ubuntu and Debian based
systems (and PCLinuxOS uses an .rpm packaging system), but if you are
talking about files rather than applications, try a firewire link.

You will need firewire ports in both computers (so this usually means
installing a firewire card in each) and a firewire cable to connect
them. It works well for me connecting a PowerMac to a Kubuntu Gutsy
machine, and Edubuntu to the same Kubuntu Gutsy machine.

By why mess about with a networking solution when usb memory sticks are
so inexpensive these days?

Drag and drop across the network can be done with ssh as well, if you use
konqueror (don't know about this newfangled thing called dolphin). Just
enter "fish://user@server" in the address bar for the remote side. You
will be asked for the password of the remote account once. Then you can
navigate to the desired directory on the remote server and drag and drop
files between local and remote machine as usual. However, it is slower
than NFS due to the ssh encryption.

It seems horribly primitive to resort to a sneaker-network...

'cause you loose all your permissions - unless you format the thing to ext2.

Yeah, I hear you. In the end, it always seems easier to just use sftp://...
or fish:// (kio slaves rock!).

Did I just say kio slaves rock? Drag and drop, too... With fish: you don't
even need the FTP server.

I just used Dolphin to test the transfer between my XP machine and the
Kubuntu machine using Samba. It worked like a charm. I didn't have the
secondary machine booted into Linux so didn't try a transfer that way
but would expect it to work. YMMV
