I’m having a little problem on how to access my files on my desktop computer, since I don’t have an external hard drive so I utilized what Ubuntu Linux have, I found some simple yet geeky way to remotely connect from my laptop to desktop computer, I wrote some simple guide for you to follow.
1.) Both computers must have openssh-server installed, just copy the code below and paste to your terminal. For openssh-server configuration visit https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html.
sudo aptitude install openssh-server
2.) Get the IP Address of the computer you want to connect, type ifconfig on terminal.
ifconfig
copy the inet addr: “192.168.0.1”, mine is 192.168.0.1
3.) From your unity desktop go to File then Connect to Server, after supplying all the details press connect and you ready to browse your server home folder.
This is the screenshot of my server home folder.
Good luck and enjoy Ubuntu.
