I must be missing something basic

[Dave Stevens]

I want to transfer a dvd image from my laptop (ubuntu 12.04.2) to my fedora 18 box that
has selinux disabled. Wired connection to my router allows F18 to browse to U12 and see
the file and right click copy, but trying to paste into a folder in my /home/dave
directory gives a terse 'permission denied.'

Ideas? will Read TFM if pointed.

Well, thanks for the suggestions. What I've done is install bittorrent sync on both
machines, syncing now at about 5MB/sec. over the LAN. Will try everyone's suggestions
later, but this sure is neat.

As root, set the permissions on the F18 directory to read/write and then 
run the transfer command as root. (It might work without setting perms
on the /dave directory, just run the copy command (in cli) as root. I 
don't know if you have a super-user GUI file manager, like konqueror, but
that would be easier to use if you don't like cli.)

Why?  works for me.  It doesn't copy the entire DVD image to the clipboard.

A DVD image is WAY too big to be cut and pasted (which is what I think
is what the operation is trying to do).

You need to copy the file from the laptop to the Fedora machine using
something like scp or rsync or FTP. Drag and drop won't work across two
machines unless it's tied to some copy protocol.

Short term work around -- can you scp from your laptop to the desktop?
If ssh is working, you should be able to scp.

Longer term -- how are you sharing files from your laptop?
