hi
i have big files on this computer i want to give to neighbor but have no blank dvd's. i can connect to their wireless network from here though but it isn't like with windows where i can just see their shared folder and put stuff there cause i have fedora here. anyone know way to give them files still?
tks Hannie
unrelated but maybe can help with lil linux question?
This is a very simple problem to solve. Get yourself a ripway account. http://ripway.com and upload your files to there. Then when you want to send your friend a file, link them to the file's link and it will initiate a download. If you do not like this method, you can use the old fashioned method of sending e-mail attachments to each other.
Good Luck.

...or you could use FTP (you set up an FTP server on your box and give your neighbor your IP address)
...or you could use an instant messenger protocol (i sometimes do this on windows when both boxes in a lan have internet access but fail to auto-detect each other in the network environment)
...or you could use Samba which allows to access or create windows network shares with a linux system

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
when the other box is a linux box too (or got netcat for windows installed) you can do it the hacker way:
On the receiving system you type Then you type on the sending system (replace the stars with the IP address of the receiving system) and the file foo.txt is transfered.
On the receiving system you type
Code: Select all
nc -l -p 1234 > foo.txt
Code: Select all
nc ***.***.***.*** 1234 < foo.txt
