This will prompt you to install 2 packages. Enter the admin password and restart your session. Do this on both systems and you should see the systems under Places->Network and look for the PC name. If you are looking for sftp via ssh then let us know, it to is fairly simple. If you want to share via nfs, this too can be done fairly easily. </blockquote></div>Thank you for the simple information. I have been using Giver and did not realize how easy it was to set up simple file sharing between two computers. What I have have wanted to do is set up something like "go to my pc" but the lack of a static IP address on my DSL connection has always confused me when I attempt any solution. This is a nice little baby step of learning. Did not mean to change the topic but I wanted to thank you for also providing some easy to understand instructions. tab
