Probably the easiest is ftp.  If you go to System Settings --> Server 
Settings --> Services you can edit the services you want to start.  
Check "vsftpd" box and make sure you hit save.  Then, with vsftpd still 
highlighted, click the start button.  This starts the ftp server and 
then you should be good to go.  I use KDE/konqueror and I can type 
"ftp://<user>@192.168.1.148" in the address bar and it takes me right to 
that computer and prompts for the password. Not sure how gnome/nautilus 
handle ftp, but i'm pretty sure it is very similar.  If not, give kde a 
shot.  You might like it better :P.  Good luck.
