[newbie] Connecting to Macintoshes

[Andrew Miller]

I have two Macs on the same LAN as the Thinkpad and I want to copy 
files from one of them to the Linux Thinkpad to use it a a web 
server.  Both are configured with IP addresses and file sharing is 
on.  HOw do I get the Thinkpad to see them so that I can move files? 
Or conversely, can I get the Macs to see the Thinkpad and drag and 
drop files to it from them?  Do I need to install an FTP server? 
Seems like there should be a way to view the other machines as 
available drives over the network.
