connect two computers for file sharing

[Matthew Copple]

Hello!

Some additional information for you on OpenSSH:

1. openssh-client is already installed on your Kubuntu system. You will need 
openssh-server, however, if you intend on receiving SSH connections (that is, 
using a remote computer to log into your machine).

2. There are two great how-tos on SSH on the Ubuntu wiki:
The SSHHowto  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
The Advanced SSH page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSH

By using ssh-agent and public key authentication (both of which are explained 
in the how-tos above), you can easily create a secure method of file 
transfer.
