(solved) Can I drag and drop in a home network?

[Rudge]

I am running LXDE on one desktop and KDE on the other. All I want to do is share files between the two.
What is the best (easiest) way to do this without samba. (I don't have a windows box in the mix)
Thanks.

Hey Rudge,

try the article in the latest pclinux newsletter about ssh - this is a great article that mentions how to drag'n-drop between systems,

The article didn't tell me that I have to do this part first. 

The article was what got me trying to figure it out.

On the KDE side I open Dolphin and go to "Network/Remote disk (sftp)/ Remote Access on linux-x

It asks for a username and password and I am in ready to drag and drop in Dolphin.

I use NFS - Network File System - and specify the path to the shared locations and mount those shares in the other PC.
So each PC can share out and also mount the locations that are shared from the other PC.

Share as many or as few locations as you wish.

It is what I use to share my local repository with other PCs that might joint the LAN.

Rudge,

Install gsshfs from Synaptic and give that a try. It's fairly straight forward, and I didn't have to go through all of that other rigga-ma-role that you said you had to do. All I ever do is install gsshfs, configure the address, the directory to connect to, and voila! It just opens a new file manager window from the remote computer on your host computer, just as soon as you type in the password for the remote computer.

I have it installed on 5 different computers, at the moment. 3 run Phoenix Mini, 1 runs KDE, and another one runs e17. I can share between all 5 computers, simply by highlighting the computer I want to connect to, hit the connect button, and supplying the password of the remote computer.
