I'm sure I sent a reply to this nearly a week ago (thunderbird thinks so too, it's in the sent folder) but people seem to still be replying to my original post, and looking through the archive it seems my reply never made it...Gnome has the same feature in nautilus - just try a url like ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or sftp: - both work). Or use the connect-to-server menu option.
Thankyou Simon. That suggestion worked perfectly, it was exactly what I was looking for. It never occurred to me that it would be so simple. I had Openssh installed on both machines (cvs use ssh for secure authentication) but I had only run ssh as the client. All I had to do was install the ssh bootscripts to run it as a server and configure gnome to use it. Now I can browse the other machine with nautilus and drag and drop from one machine to the other. Perfect!
Thanks to Declan to for the suggestion to use ftp. I'm pretty sure it would work too but I haven't tried it as ssh is working really well. Also, thanks to Craig and Mike who also suggested ssh. It was Simon's detail of how to use the url in Nautilus that did the trick though.
Sorry this reply has taken so long. I should have checked the first one made it to the list
