It is done very similar to the way you share File over you Network.

However security wise it is very dangerous affair.

You are much better off installing a Simple FTP or HTTP server on one of your computers and put the files there, or if it is here and there one shot sessions use a Remote Control/Transfer Program like VNC.

And Best of All, these programs are Free.

The Remote Control Transfer Files way:

Link to: Ultr@VNC (Remote Control for your Network/Internet) - Installation, and Settings

Link to: How can I find My Home Personal Computer/Server on this "Huge" Internet World?

This is a Solution via File Server installed on your computer.

Here you can download free ftp program.

Link to: GuildFTP.

Here is setting instructions.

Here is a solution via very small and easy to use Http Server.

P.S. Using any of these approaches you need to know how to Open the applications Ports through your Router and/or Software Firewall.

Use small FTP server and limit connections by IP address(s) and password. Only run the server active when needed.
