[Sheflug] pc->laptop linking

["Ross" <nospam [at] ntlworld.com>]

hi all,

i've just got myself another old lap top (for my own use this time) and have
debian installed on it(without X). what i want to do is link the laptop to
my main workstation on a regular basis to exchange files. i have a serial
cable to link the two using pppd so i can telnet in and stuff but what i
would like to do is to be able to see the file structure of the laptop in a
graphical file manager (KDE)to make drag and drop file transfers(from the
workstation). i realise this could be acheived with an ftp server running on
the laptop or rsync but i wondered if there was a better way of doing this.

suggestions welcome.

thanks,
Ross
