I am a newbie to linux and have 2 machines both dualbooting Mint 13 XFCE and Windows XP.
How do i setup a home network sharing files where mint is running on both computers? If 1 is running xp and the other mint I can share files from linux to xp no problem but how do i set it up if both computers are running linux? Do I have to install Samba or is some sort of linux to linux networking already supported in XFCE?
Also how do you select a folder to share in Mint 13 XFCE. I'm sure it's all trivial stuff but cant find a decent guide. All guides are for MATE or CINNAMON versions.

Learn SSH, or setup a network share. If you aren't logged in to one computer, you should be able to login via SSH and copy files that way.

Well, I do not think so...at least I always follow altair4's How-To guide heretan159753 wrote: I'm sure it's all trivial stuff but cant find a decent guide. All guides are for MATE or CINNAMON versions.

and for your case with mint xfce, usually mint already had samba installed, and you have one simple way to do this in xfce with thunar, the How- To is inside the main link above, here I repeat the link specifically on thunar
