Drew,
IF you setup FTP or NFS on a Linux or any other UNIX machine, you
can use any file manager to move files around. All you need to do is add a
mount point (/mnt/remote_drive), and mount the network drive (mounting a
network drive tells the computer to access X drive on Y machine, Windows
does this automatically for you by showing you the computer that you can
connect to in Network Neighborhood). Correct me if I am wrong, but VFS
(Virtual File System) in GMC (GNU Midnight Commander, which is the windows
explorer of GNOME) allows you to mount both FTP sites, and once you mount a
network drive, you can access the regular filesystem (/mnt/remote_drive)
right in the gui. More can be added to this explanation, and I am probably
missing some key point that you may or may not understand.

Subject: GUI File Sharing
Greetings,
Is there such a thing as GUI File Sharing on Linux?
I want to share files between YDL and RH.
Yeah, I know I can do FTP from the command line,
but I was thinking more along the lines of Windows
File Sharing (drag and drop stuff, etc.) between
computers on my LAN.
Thanks,
Drew
