Are both machines running Ubuntu or is the other machine running Windows or something else? – user68186 Dec 17 '12 at 18:26

Do you want to set up a browsable shared directory, or do you want to share just one file, one time? – Exeleration-G Dec 18 '12 at 21:32

When setting up the share, check the "Guest access (for people without a user account)" option.
If guest access is not checked, you will need to provide the user name and password of a user on the Ubuntu source machine who has access to that file.
Note: Please use a share name up to 11 characters long and preferably without spaces for universal compatibility.
