    Hellos,

    There's tons of info on how to share data between the AAO and Windows boxes, but how to do it with other LINUX boxes?

    Both my desktop and laptop are running Linux, I simply use sftp://theirip to access each other computer. But Thunar doesn't have support for sftp, and it's not on their plan to add this support soon. I cannot install Nautilus or Konqueror because of conflicting packages made by Acer, and I'm not really fond of the idea of taking their stuff out.

    I think the solution is fairly simple and many people are using it already. I'm not really a linux newbie, but not advanced either.

    If I could just connect from the desktop to the AAO with sftp it would be great already, but I've tried adding a sftp server (forgot which) and could still not connect to the AAO from the desktop.

    What am I doing wrong? Or missing?


    Thanks!
