As long as you have ssh access between the computers a decent file manager should work nicely for this task. I know that NFS was mentioned in the original post but I like simple solutions.
In the file manage on Gnome I can set a location I want to access using a syntax along the lines of sftp://kdb16@lfs17/home/kdb16 I use ssh key authentication between my computers and have quite a few bookmarks set up to automatically browse many computers both local and remote. I'm assuming that whatever file manager you use would have this functionality in 2021 but ymmv -- David -----Original Message----- From: John Jason Jordan <[email protected]> Reply-To: Portland Linux/Unix Group <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PLUG] GUI app to access files on another Linux computer Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2021 22:39:29 -0800 On Fri, 8 Jan 2021 23:38:41 -0600 Bill Barry <[email protected]> dijo: > Try searching sshfs gui.

I tried sshfs and got 'need to specify destination,' so I specified the ip address of the other computer, which gave me 'address must be in brackets' (why?) so i added the brackets, and the error message was just repeated. I'm not impressed with sshfs. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
