I built a new computer to replace the one that I am currently using and I would like to set up a peer-to-peer fileshare between the 2 to easily copy files from the old one to the new one. Both are running Ubuntu 24.04 Is there an easy way to set this up without going to a cloud solution or using an external hard drive?

I recommend paying attention to the open source solution Syncthing.

It is available on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and other less common OS.

The installation and usage guide is available at the link

You can connect both using an Ethernet cable and install and configure Network File System (NFS), choosing one as server and the other as client. Back in the day you had to use an Ethernet crossover cable but now it is not necessary.

On your host install: sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server

For your client: sudo apt install nfs-common

You can use the following GUI to configure: https://github.com/Philippe734/Simple.NFS.GUI
