I have a desktop and a laptop both using Ubuntu 11.04 connected to the same router. I just simply want to be able to share files among these two computers. I've gone to system -> preferences and enabled person file sharing with never to ask for password option.

However, I can't figure out how to actually share the files? Do I need to right click the files I want to share or something?

Basically there is a file on my desktop that I want to copy over to my laptop. I know in windows we are able to just go to run and type in the other laptop's ip address prefixed with \\

What similar solution is there in ubuntu?
