content: Best (simplest) way to share files between two Ubuntu PCs? Non-tech guy here. Currently running two Ubuntu rigs, each connected to network of DSL modem. Both access internet just fine. What is the simplest way to share files between them? I run Nord VPN on both rigs, which gave me fits trying to set up a network with W7 rigs because of the virtual network Nord uses. Will I have the same issues with Linux? I see a lot of differing methods to accomplish simple local network file sharing. Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wired-connect.html.en it says just plug them in to the network and it will work, but this isn't happening, so I am thinking it has to do with the Nord virtual network. Am I missing something, or should I try using one of the network utilities such as Samba? All help and suggestions appreciated.
