Laptop to desktop connection with firewire or USB: Possible?

[axelfox]

I have a firewire 4 pin port on my laptop and would like to sync some files from my desktop. Can I connect the two computers with a firewire cable? If so, how would they see each other? As another drive?

How about with USB?

Thanks
