Share folder between two ubuntu machines, one of them doesn't have internet connection

I wondered if i could share folders between two ubuntu machines, even if one of them doesn't have Internet connection.

In fact, i searched all day long for a way to do that, but all i found is that i should install SAMBA or openssh, but i actually can't cause as i said, i don't have Internet on one of the two PCs.

First i tried to find a way to share the Internet connection, but i was told that it wasn't possible while i didn't have two network cards in the PC that was connected to the Internet.

I would be grateful if someone could give me an answer.

I'd suggest installing openssh-server on the machine with the internet connection, then using the command scp remote-user@remote-host:/path/to/file ~/place/to/store to copy a file from remote to local on the internet-less machine, as ssh client is pre-installed by default (if I remember correctly).

Alternatively, with openssh-server installed, on the desktop of the internet-less machine go to file->connect to server and change the type to ssh. Then enter a username, password & host to connect to the remote machine and mount the filesystem locally.

There's also this relevant xkcd.
