Some things simply aren't that simple if you're setting them up yourself.

The good news is that you get to choose the type of complexity you
want to deal with:

1.  Samba.
2.  You could purchase a networked drive (network attached storage)
that both computers can access.  Many retail stores now carry these.
3.  Webdav (included with Apache 2.2).  This setup is as complex as
Samba; but you can access it securely across the internet via SSL.

Good luck,
