SSH is the easier way to manage this, I'd say. Both, samba and nfs can 
be overkill for sharing a bunch of files and even harder to manage 
and setup. OTOH, SSH is just a matter of installing the corresponding 
package and that's all.

SSH will not only help you to securely transmit the files between the 
two computers but will also help you to debug problems if for whatever 
reason the X server crashes. In brief, having a SSH access is not only a 
great advantadge but a must :-)
