How to share files in local network?

Problem

I've got two laptops, Lenovo with Ubuntu and a Mac, and I want to share some files, without using any external hard drives or USB sticks.

scp

I used scp (secure file copy), which allows copying files between computers using SSH Protocol.

Command

On my mac I run the command below, and after a while all files were transfered.

scp -r /Users/maciek/photos maciek@192.168.1.14:/home/maciek/

• -r - recursively copy entire directories
• /Users/maciek/photos - absolutele path of the directory I want to copy (you could also use relative path)
• maciek@192.168.1.14:/home/maciek/ - [user@]host:[path]
