If I enter <a href="http://10.0.0.9">10.0.0.9</a> nothing happens, so I must be entering the address in the wrong place.</blockquote> If I enter sftp://<a href="http://10.0.0.1">10.0.0.1</a> (which is the address of the laptop that I'm currently using) into Thunar's address bar then a connection is established. This is progress but a connection to itself is not a lot of use. If I enter the address of the other laptop then I get the error message "ssh program unexpectedly exited". I installed the ssh meta package but without any improvement. Perhaps the other laptop is blocking access, I seem to remember that I couldn't connect to this laptop when is was running Vista. </pre></blockquote></div></body></html></body></html>
