connecting two computers via router?

[wrathkeg]

hi all. I have two computers running linux: a desktop with Ubuntu and a laptop with wireless card running Puppy. They are both connected to the same D-Link ADSL wireless router. Is there some way I can get the two computers to talk to each other e.g. to share files? this is probably a really dumb question, but I'm having difficulty even getting started on this so pointers welcome.
TIA,
WK

Using secured shell is one way. For more information read this
