Sending files on the local wifi from Linux computer to Linux computer.

@mosgaard you're all missing the simple and obvious. *Every* Linux File Browser *already* has built-in support to connect to a remote SFTP share (the remote #linux box needs the "openssh-server" installed).
It goes almost full wire speed, even on tiny files. Beats SMB for speed. I use this heavily in my home lab. For example in #KDE Dolphin: "Network": icon on left - > "Add Network Folder" button in the upper right - > "Secure shell (ssh)" radio button.

@d1
This requires that the user have an account on both machines though. if you want to send something between say two laptops owned by different people where neither one wants to give an account to the other, you want LocalSend probably

@dlakelan @d1 @mosgaard or KDE Connect.

@dreamer uh, looks straight forward, where will it show up?

[dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org]

@thaodan @d1 @mosgaard

Or put the file in a scratch directory and export it with NFS v4

[dreamer@mastodon.world]

@mosgaard <host_ip>:8000

Of course this is not safe to do at all, but if you just want to quickly share a file with your friend over the local network .. why not? :#

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@dreamer makes sense, I like how straight forward this is.

Will I need to un-share afterwards?

[mosgaard@uddannelse.social]

@dlakelan @thaodan @d1 in this case both are my computers, as I’m switching, so this actually seems like a really good option.

I’ll look into this!
