You could set up a FTP server

Or a SFTP server which is part of the SSH protocol. I would suggest this over normal FTP.

If sshd is running on your computer add this line to the /etc/ssh/ sshd_config file


Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

restart the ssh server.

to connect ot the server user

sftp hostname-or-IP

or just use samba.

It easy to configure and set up your Linux boxes to see files from their shares.

Install and configure samba using SWAT.

Then just mount your dirs from whatever Linux box you want.

Or NFS - Network Neighbourhood for Linux!

(Well, sort of).
