This is the simplest guide a quick Google found: http://www.howtogeek.com/116309/use-ubuntus-public-folder-to-easily-share-files-between-computers/ Ssh won't help. It's for a secure remote terminal -- letting you type commands on 1 PC from another -- not for file sharing. (It can do it, but it's not the primary purpose so it's not trivial.) -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
