Wireless is really easy.

Set up an adhoc network on one machine, and connect to it on the other.  You
then have a wireless network to transfer data from one machine to another.

However, if you have ethernet interfaces on both machines, that will be
faster, and Macs have "smart" ports that don't require a crossover cable to
connect another machine to a Mac.
