I assume when you say "network" you mean file sharing. Assuming you
have the IP addresses set correctly, there are a number of ways you can
do it. 

1. NFS exports / imports 
2. Samba, having set up a samba server / client, this can then
communicate with another samba server / client as if it was a windows
box. 
3. Ftp FTP server / Client
4. SCP Secure copy - install SSH and ssh clients. 

Googling on the above should bring up a wealth of information. 

Hope this helps, 

Regards,
