One solution is to install Openssh-server on each computer. Note: If you're using a Firewall (maybe using gufw), then you'll need to add a rule to allow SSH.

Hi WhyCheese, I just tried some ftp transfers, and I get decent performance. But, I've used different methods than you've used. And I was using WiFi for these tests, which typically is much slower than a gigabit LAN. The first test was ftp with Firefox . The "File > Connect To Server..." f...

The 1st core dum...

But so far..so good with the Qredshit applet for a good while now for me-- Very nice! Thanks! :D -- I'm happy it's working for you. I"m curious though wondering if I'm confused on something. Did you do both the "manual" method I mentioned most recently AND the Qredshift applet? I ask...

But so far..so good with the Qredshit applet for a good while now for me-- Just tried QRedshift based on your recommendation. After exiting Redshift-gtk from the panel, I did this: rm ~/.config/redshift.conf apt remove redshift-gtk Next I ran Applets to download QRedshfit, and finally Panel Setting...

Some weeks ago, on Mint 20.1 Ulyssa the Thunderbird app changed (deteriorated) in two ways. Firstly all folder icons became blank, uncoloured. Secondly a new Write message page only allows for one each of main addressee, Cc and Bcc, a serious restriction. I tried an uninstall and reinstall Thunderb...

Open a terminal. (You ca...
