You need to be more specific. Are you asking about link method, or software tool?
I'm sorry. I'm looking for a way to send files from my machine to my sister's machine on the same network. She's not very tech literate and I want to make it as easy as possible for her. I'd like a software solution. i thought about a private torrent but it seems impractical.
Maybe try localsend
https://localsend.org/
This will work. I completely overlooked this one. Thank you!
Click on Network in your file browser, find Sis's machine, see if she has a smb share. If not, go get her / you share a folder. Drill down on her machine, find folder, drop files.
You might say what OS / DE you're using and she's using...
We're both using CachyOS with KDE Plasma. I found a solution though, Thank you!
Give us the solution then.
I said it in another comment. LocalSend will fit my use case perfectly.
Syncthing if you need a common folder that auto updates between you both
If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you could try LocalSend.
