Send files over network!

[thahabbis]

I have two debian(non desktop) computers in a network!

I want to transfer files between them, so here i have some questions!

1. How can i change the host name?

2. Does the computers need the same domain name?, if yes how can i check/change it?

3. Whats the easyest way to send files from computer1 to computer2 ?

4. How can i check that the network is working properly?

A lot of questions, ill bee glad if u people help me

personally, the way i send files is through scp. i find it to be really efficient and easy.

you will need to install an sshd server on both computers

apt-get install openssh-server

then follow the scp syntax to transfer files. something like...

scp file user2@othercomputer:~/path/to/destination

Install NFS on both computers and after that configure /etc/exports so that both computers can mount each other with rw permissions. If you need help on how to configure that file, just execute man exports.

If you need a secure environment, maybe you should do what erik said
