Stephen:
Heya. For "inter-machine file-transfer" (secured with
encryption, too) Kaboodle is about as easy to use as I've seen.
After being asked more than a few times, I've scheduled upgrading
this capability to include "folder synchronization" as well.
As for running on Linux...a "quicker" solution might be
to build a Java applet that gets served by one of the Kaboodle
instances on the LAN. This applet would be built to have as
most of the capabilities as the Windows version (ie, it could
probably do everything that a non-Master Node instance could
do).
FWIW, a "Kaboodle Master Node" is the one PC on the LAN
that does most of the Kaboodle heavy-lifting: it endpoints the
VPN connections, it actively pings the "known device list" of
machines every 5 seconds, it serves up the Java GUI, etc. Thing
is...I don't really like the name "Kaboodle Master Node". Anyone
have any better suggestions before I write thge documentation?
