I have two PCs, both running Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit, and an ethernet cable connecting them. I want to share files between them so that I can access both home folders easily. I have installed Dukto but it can only send files. What is the easiest way to do that without going through samba configuration and stuff (too difficult for me). I have a cyber cafe and I need this feature most. please help and be precise. I would be happier if I can do this through a GUI. By the way I have a 3G connection and I have managed to share network connection via ethernet cable.

What should I do?

    See [the "Ubuntu to Ubuntu" part of the answer to this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/310180/how-to-share-files-using-a-wireless-network/310201#310201). Even though the question is for WiFi, a wired network should not be very different. – user68186 Oct 29 '14 at 13:47

Samba is not difficult just install it :

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common system-config-samba python-glade2 gksu

If you use caja or nautilus file browser you can directly type the following in the file browser location bar and save it as a bookmark.

ssh://username@ipaddress/home/userHomeDirectory/

For example, I have two computers: A (10.0.0.10) and B (10.0.0.20) . I access B from A by typing ssh://[email protected]/home/sahil/ in A's caja/nautilus and vice versa. The bookmark for this really comes really handy.
