[SOLVED] Share files between a laptop and netbook XFCE 4.8

[Nippur]

Which would be the easiest way to share files between my two computers?
Is samba the only option?
Thx

What is running on EACH computer?? Phoenix? Windows? Something else?

Phoenix on both

Thanks for the extra info, Nippur. I just had to be sure that Windows wasn't involved.

Take a look at my SSH: An Easier-Than-You-Thought Tutorial in the February 2011 issue of The PCLinuxOS Magazine. This is what I use to access files on other computers (no less than 5 different ones) on my home network, and I find that, in particular, gsshfs works incredibly well. FYI, gsshfs is one of the applications that I cover in the article.

I hope this helps!

I'm trying to establish the ssh connection and though I have configured the firewall to allow ssh server I get "connection refused" 

[Nippur]

Is it possible to use filezilla without going through the "gaining access" step of the tutorial?

[parnote]

Nippur,

Go into PCC > System Services and insure that sshd is running. If not, start it, and mark it to start at boot.

Should I do this on both computers?

YES

Got it!
I had to enable SSH server in the host machine firewall and have successfully transfered files with filezilla to the guest.

If I now would like to transfer files from the guest to the original host can I doit through the actual setup?
or do I have to start as from the begining in the reverse order?
Thx for this help!!!
