For people wanting to share content between two or more computers, try dropbox. I currently share files between Ubuntu and windows, and on occasions share documents with others. Dropbox easily caters for this, and best of all is free for up to 2GB.
Intalling dropbox on Ubuntuu 9.04
Following dropbox’s instructions you are left at a dead end. There is no dropbox folder created even after nautilus has been restarted and I had logged out then back in. To complete the install of dropbox on Ubuntu, on the command line enter
dropbox start -i
which will then download and install the daemon. Once that is done logout and back in and you should then be able to use your drop box.
