Just assign an ip address of the same class to each of your laptops. For
example: 192.168.0.1 & 192.168.0.2
They should be able to stablish a network conection between them...
Then transfer the files the way you like, by ftp, ssh, rsync, tftp, www,
etc...
I guess the easyest way is ssh, just install it, configure it and: scp
files user@host:/path/where/you/want/them/

Have you ever patched binary code?
