You just have to set up a server daemon on the computer you want to "serve" files, and use the correct client on the "client" computer to retrieve (or push) files. Each of your computers should have a static IP (on the private PAN network). If you don't want to use IP addresses, you can edit your /etc/hosts file to give them "real" names. If you just want to be able to transfer a file here or there, I would suggest using scp (secure copy, part of the SSH suite of tools). Make sure that at least one of your computers (the server) is running sshd. On the other computer (client) use scp to cpy files. (e.g. scp "username@server.hostname:~/file_in_users_home_dir.txt ." will copy a file from the server into the current directory (the trailing dot specifies the current directory). If you want to mount a filesystem, NSF (or Samba/SMB) would work as well, but is a lot harder to setup/configure than scp.
