"If your laptop computer is a complement to your desktop machine, you're probably well aware of the need to synchronize data between the two. When you're in the middle of a big project and know you're going to be spending the afternoon in a doctor's waiting room or on an airplane, it's nice to be able to quickly transfer your project files - and maybe your email and contacts - to the laptop, then vice-versa when you return to your desk. This article will show you two ways to accomplish this on GNU/Linux-based machines."

Tomahawk Desktop (http://www.tomahawkcomputers.com/) comes with built-in FTP server plus client and Zeroconf (Apple Bonjour).
That is, when you install Tomahawk Desktop on a desktop machine named desktop, you can transfer data from your laptop using any FTP client to the desktop by typing the desktop.local as the url, provided your laptop supports zeroconf, if not, you have to find the IP address of the desktop machine.
If you install Tomahawk Desktop on the laptop named laptop, you can transfer data from your desktop using any FTP client to the laptop by typing the laptop.local as the url, provided your desktop supports zeroconf, if not, you have to find the IP address of the laptop.
If you install Tomahawk Desktop on both the laptop and the desktop, you don't have to source any FTP client, you do not need to know their IP addresses, just transfer either way buy typing either desktop.local or laptop.local.
