Obviously, you have many more options going Linux to Linux. You need to
decide what is most important to you. You could use Samba, but that is
probably not the best option. NFS is more Linux native and probably the
most likely choice. You could use FTP and a browser for another fairly
simple option, although a little silly I suppose.

All of these would work. I would probably go NFS.
