What is an easy way to transfer files between two computers on the same home network?
I used to use basiclinux with mini_httpd or pure-ftpd but I can't figure out how to use them on puppy linux
(connection refused) and basiclinux won't run from a SATA drive. Puppy comes with busybox httpd.
How do I use these or other servers to serve files from a specific directory (plus subdirectories)?
I prefer command-line not config file (the IP address varies by computer).
I have been using a flash drive. Other ideas are welcome.
Best way to transfer files on home network?

Hallo, sindi.
For ease of use, I don't think you can beat rcrsn51's Samba-TNG server .pets. They will do everything you want, and are extremely easy to use; setup required is absolutely minimal.

Have a look, and see what you think. I would advise installing the updated version of YASSM for share searching (YASSM 2.9); you can get this from here:-

And you might need to install Peasyport; not all Pups come with it.

It sounds a lot, I know, but it's well worth investing a small amount of time & effort for the ease of use it affords you. I've been using it for nearly two years, and It does everything I ask from it.
Hope that helps.
Mike.

If you're getting the message 'connection refused'(connection refused)
then the likely reason is that the SSH program is not running in background.

A good way is just to use netcat (nc). It is one of the busybox applets. It's not as convenient as a server but it should work.
Code: Select all
# busybox nc
BusyBox v1.23.1 (2015-10-06 20:25:17 EST) multi-call binary.
Usage: nc [-iN] [-wN] [-l] [-p PORT] [-f FILE|IPADDR PORT] [-e PROG]
Open a pipe to IP:PORT or FILE
-l Listen mode, for inbound connects
(use -ll with -e for persistent server)
-p PORT Local port
-w SEC Connect timeout
-i SEC Delay interval for lines sent
-f FILE Use file (ala /dev/ttyS0) instead of network
-e PROG Run PROG after connect

I tend to like to use mc (midnight commander) for the job. It supports several methods for connecting to the other computer and transfer files both ways.Unfortunately mc is not installed on every puppy so....
You also have the file-sharing option in ROX. OPen ROX in your home folder and click File-sharing/Setup-Sharing.
You might have to turn off or tweak your firewall to make any method work.
