I run Mint 18.3 Mate on both PCs. B has A bookmarked. I can transfer files and folders from B to A.
When I try to do the opposite - send folders from A to B, I get this message.
Could not display "sftp://hansel.local/". Access is denied.
B shows in A's menu as being in the Network, but it is not bookmarked on A.
I'd be grateful for help. I wish to move stuff from A to B.
Thanks.

Re: LAN connection problem
hansel, snow-white, and rudolph .... I remember you.
You had this problem with one of your installs maybe it's the same problem:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install gvfs-backends
Code: Select all
sudo ufw disable

Once seen, never forgotten!
Thanks for helping. I ran those terminal commands on both PCs, but trying to move stuff from A to B is still not possible. Same old message as before.

Re: LAN connection problem
Well, let's make sure all the basics are in place:
Did you install ssh on hansel:
Is avahi running on hansel:
Lastly are you sure you are in the same network. On your other machine can you ping hansel:
Did you install ssh on hansel:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install ssh
Code: Select all
sudo service avahi-daemon restart
Code: Select all
ping -c3 hansel.local

Re: LAN connection problem
ssh was installed on Hansel. (PC-B)
Is avahi running on hansel: I ran the command.

Re: LAN connection problem
Hi again,
I ran the caja sftp//Hansel.local command from Snow-White. It would not accept the password for access to Hansel. I have disabled the Linux firewall on both PCs.
When I checked the network on Snow-White (A) it did not show any other PCs. Checking this on Hansel (B) shows all the machines on the LAN.
So, Snow-White files and folders (A) can be accessed from Hansel, but not the other way around. And Snow-White does not see other PCs on the LAN.
Hope you can help more! Thanks.

Re: LAN connection problem
I do not know. Nothing I can think of fits all of your symptoms.
** Machine1 being able to see Machine2 but not the other way around usually indicates - in the absence of firewall issues, etc - that the two machines are in different subnets. That will happen if you have multiple routers or misconfigured access points.
** It's possible that snow-white has a key to a different hansel. Maybe you reinstalled hansel or maybe changed its host name which would make the key you have on snow-white no longer valid or maybe you have two hansels. But I would think your error message would be different.

Re: LAN connection problem
I'm an idiot.
When I used the correct user and password, A connected to B. Apologies for wasting your time and energy, altair4.
But, network discovery still does not work with A. Both PCs are dual boot (Windows 10) which may have something to do with it. But the network is discoverable from machine B.
