B:
I use ssh via Natilus to transfer files back and forth to a remote
computer quite often. In order to do so: 1) first make sure that you can
ssh into the remote normally (terminal), 2) then use Places|Connect to
Server|Service type:SSH|Server:IPaddress|Connect. You will then be
prompted for a username and password; be sure to enter the _existing_
username and password for the remote. The share should now be available
in Nautilus as: sftp on ipaddress.

A:
In Natilus click the paper&pencil icon so that you can view the
'Location' bar. In the location bar (assuming you have samba shares set
up on the target machine) enter: smb://ipaddressoftargetmachine/ and hit
Enter. That should get you to the target where you can select the shared
folders. Once that's done, click 'Bookmarks|Add Bookmark'. Then in the
future you'll only need to click 'Bookmarks' and select the smb for the
target.

You can also try: smb://machinename. Unfortunately, it appears that
Hardy's Nautilus has trouble finding samba shared machines, so the only
reliable way I've found is to use the smb://ipaddress vs smb://machinename.
