    You can either use command line tools, like scp, or you can do some reading into samba, and find out how to join these machines to your workgroup and than access shares exactly as you would in a windows network.

    The easiest way to transfer files between Ubuntu computers is to install a simple program called Giver on each computer. Start Giver on both computers and simply drag and drop the file from one to the other.

    Good idea, Costas.
    I need to check that out: "Giver" .

    I was going to advise using a USB external Hard Drive, maybe a 500 Gig,
    copy and switch between the two computers,
    and make a back-up at the same time.
    Get Two Birds with One Stone, as we say.

    buena suerta!

    The easiest way would be to use a USB key, the so-called sneaker net. An USB hard drive also works and for large files.

    Dear Friend ,

    The best way is to use the scp command , which is more reliable and secure

    syntax: scp source destination

    eg scp 192.168.1.2:/home/vkv/file.txt /home/vikas/

    Agreed, scp is quicker and easier. Doesn't require you to install anything else, or start additional server processes.
