Installed Rasbian on a Raspberry Pi, but cannot figure out how to transfer files over the network.
Shares are always a pretty hit and miss affair, but I cannot even figure out if the pi sees the PC or if it is just an access rights problem. And I simply do not want some terminal auto mount script, I want a window with the connected computers and their shares listed.
Filezilla is the simplest way to do it.
You can install it on one Pi and use it to see the directories on both, for transferring.
It is easily installed:
sudo apt-get install filezilla
All it needs is the IP address - set it to use sftp, and to use a Normal Login, then put in the username and password. When you clock on Connect it saves the entry for future use. In the Advanced tab you can have it default to directories other than just the home directory ~
You need to have SSH enabled on both systems, of course.
That can be done through
sudo raspi-config
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to look for files using your Raspberry Pi. These files are located on another computer. Check out this answer from the PiHut. It shows you how to connect to another server and then use the built-in File Manager to look at those machines' file structures.
