NitroShare is a cross-platform file transfer application that can help Linux users move files from one device to another as long as it is installed in all of them. While there are many ways to do this, and some are more secure than NitroShare, this one is one of the simplest and easiest to use for everyday common file sharing tasks. In the following quick guide, I will showcase how to transfer a sample file from an Ubuntu system onto an Arch system.

As we know Arch Linux is one of the best Linux Distribution ever, if you want to taste arch, give a try

Using a long password is much more secure that using a short one, the longer the password the harder it is to guess. In this post, we will take a look at a several different ways to generate a strong password using the Linux command line.
