There's a lot of stuff I'd like to transfer from my desktop to my laptop, but unfortunately sneakernet is out, as my pen drive is too small and the desktop can't burn CDs. However, the machines are currently on the same 100 Mbps LAN, and I've got a couple yards of USB cable if that proves necessary.
What I'd like to know is: what's the fastest and easiest way of transferring the files? Should I use SSH? Should I create an NFS volume and put everything on that?

Don't tell me you've never even tried using samba?!
Easy as pie, if you go with "security = share" insetead of "security = user". Less secure of course.
Look at this samba stanza (my misc share...);
[misc]
comment = read and write
path = /home/pelle/share
public = yes
writable = yes
force group = users
force user = pelle
complicated!? I think not.
[edit]you would of course have to mount this in the client fstab like this;
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/misc /mnt/whatever cifs guest,ro
(or just use the kio/gnome-vfs smb:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)[/edit]

I always just use SSH/SCP for this. It's easier to set up that just about anything else.

ssh is nice. It's small, quick and you don't have to configure anything (and secure .

ssh seems the easiest

Just use scp if you don't want to mess with SMB

scp or ftp would be my first preferences, followed by NFS if you want a more permanent share.

sshfs, as recommended by the monkey-shaped cactus

sshfs/fuse ... or just scp/ssh...
