How to share a link (or transfer a link) over a local network from one computer to another?

Question

linux

I am reading some blog or article or anything at all, and then I needed to transfer a link to a neighboring laptop, at which the girl is sitting. This is how it is with us now: she has a cable, she distributes the Internet via connectify to the ost. devices, acc. My internet is via WiFi. There are shared folders that for some reason do not really work, but you can read information from them (at least just copy the file, if it's from me, I have Xubuntu).

So I can't think of anything but to copy the link, write it to a text file, and then the girl opens this text file from my network directory, copies the link, and then reads it. It doesn't bother me much, but I couldn't think of anything better.

Can someone tell me something how to simplify the process without unnecessary unnecessary services / actions, simpler :)? I can’t even think of any online services, because it turns out the same copying of links. We do not use IM.

OS: Xubuntu, Windows 7; Browsers: Opera, Google Chrome.

Answer 1

Well, you still have to be smart about something, use IM. You can not give out your contacts to anyone else and promise that you will only throw links to each other via IM. Or does religion not allow you? Practice shows that nothing is more convenient than IM for sending links.

Answer 2

sudo apt-get install pidgin

Answer 3

Jabber?

Answer 4

Former Read It Later, current Getpocket:
getpocket.com/apps/opera
getpocket.com/apps/chrome Create
one account and log in with both.
PS Not really, though, “via a local network” is obtained, but given that both are online (“some kind of blog or article, or anything at all, and here it was necessary to transfer a link to a neighboring laptop”), this is not a hindrance. The bonus is the ability to leave links there for your opponent, even if your reading sessions do not overlap in time.

Answer 5

There are plenty of possibilities: talk, ssh+write/wall, ssh+<a href=«habrahabr.ru/post/48954/> work with the clipboard.
And of course, you can raise a jabber, or http-server (and organize an elementary “chat” there).

Answer 6

you can also use google docs

Answer 7

So do you need online services or purely on a local network without the Internet?
If only locally and with the specified network architecture, then dig in the direction: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_messenger
If with the Internet, then a banal email since you don’t use im (much easier).

Answer 8

and send a message over the network using the Windows console utility msg (analogous to netsend like in xp)? however, the last time I tried to use it on my network, it didn’t work for me ...
