Mike, I dunno Ubuntu, but I guess to read a file, first you need something that understands what you are trying to do. Are you sure you have a platform ready to receive "files"? A file is always produced for an operating system, prepared to be used by that system, eg. the extension is maybe not recognized by the receiver, etc.
I recommend to check whether you are able to store such files on your other pc, then if it runs, try to synchronize folders.
