Hello!

TeamViewer may possibly be a solution for you to not only transfer files, but to pull off many other really neat tricks as well - like, for example, help you out from afar with things that have you stumped in real time, although that might flirt dangerously close with their definition of 'commercial use'.

As for myself, I used it recently to help a pal from several hundred klicks away to straighten out their Windows PC for them. I'll have to play around with it cross-platform, and get back to you...

Hi -- Thanks for the info -- I assume you were refering to ---- try NitroShare, a cross-platform network sharing application for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can view a video tutorial

I had a look at the video and it looks a good possibility . My other Netbook is getting repaired so I will have to try when I get it back.

To make things easier is it possible to use a script to store and implement  what I need to do .

I managed to get a network set up with WinXP and then with Win7 it was better but there was often an element of mystery and luck if it would work first time .

Take a look in the Help Manual under Network, Accessing you Windows Shares from Linux Lite, scroll to the bottom of that tutorial there is a link to a GUI way to do it.

If they are both connected to the internet, you could use BitTorrent Sync and then have access to the files even when away from home.

Looked at Samba  and decided it was too much a learning curve for me . . I think until a better way is found I will use a USB drive for the needs I have . Thanks to Valtam and  N4RPS
