Linking two fedora systems by ethernet
Hey guys from the shell I am trying to make an TCP IP connection between two computers and send files between them. What would be the proper commands to use to accomplish this? I am thinking I will use ifconfig and fstat? maybe but I am not totally sure on the appropriate usage. Thanks.

You need to connect the two computers together using cross over cable and then use the likes of scp to copy computers from one system to another. You need to edit /etc/hosts on each computer and add the hostnames and ip addresses of your computers so that they can communicate.

Only need to edit the hosts file if you want to use names to talk.
If you are using ip then you don't need to edit this file.
You might also look into NFS and mount the dir where you want to copy files to.
Then you could use your pretty gui to drag-n-drop the files.
