The Linksys PC-LINK product is I think just a file-sharer that runs in Win/MAC. I'm told that Windows Vista can do it automatically from Media Player; I'm looking for a Linux equivalent of such file-sharing software.

Linksys supply a piece of file-sharing software called PC-LINK which runs under Win & MAC. On my boxes, I run Fedora 6 on one, and CentOS 5 on the other, so I'm looking for an equivalent to PC-LINK for Linux. I have seen reference elsewhere to a daemon called "kissd" which seems to do just the job, but it appears to be a dead project.

TVM for the pointers. But I think they're not what I'm looking for. The Linksys PC-LINK product is I think just a file-sharer that runs in Win/MAC. I'm told that Windows Vista can do it automatically from Media Player; I'm looking for a Linux equivalent of such file-sharing software. Someone mentioned somewhere "kissd", but it seems to be a dormant project. Anyone had any experience with it?
