I often need to transfer files over my home network between computers and have found that WiFi transfers really aren't the best idea. (facepalm) If I have a CAT-5, 5e, or 6 cable lying around, how can I connect one computer directly to the other with it? If a SSH server is running on server
and I connect client
to server using a CAT-5 cable directly between the two, can I then use SSH to transfer files? What do I need to do in order to set something like this up? Is a router required?
1An update: just transferred a file at 70 megabytes per second for the win. – Naftuli Kay – 2012-12-03T21:36:06.527
