What do you mean by share?

If you mean you want or need to open the same file in two different machines
at then same time then you need NFS [work only on Linux] or Samba [ allows
connection to MS network but is harder to set up than NFS].

If you mean that you want to transfer files easily between two or more
computers then best bet is to load KDE and use Kfish which rides on top of
SSH. Much easier and nicer than NFS or Samba and a charm to set up.
