gnulinux systems sync with cross over ethernet cable?

If the post is not about free software then ignore it or tell how to delete it.

I want to move files in the home folder from an ubuntu computer to a debian 8 computer via lan cable cross over cable. I get a permission denied message. I have asked the question on a couple of gnulinux forums. No answers. Either because it is difficult or nobody makes ethernet cross over cable connections.

I have marked folders with folder sharing. Set folder permissions. Set the static ip addresses. The shared folders display on the network on the debian computer. If I want to move files, I get a persmission denied message.

Suggestions?

There is software called samba server configuration. Is it an option? I tested it and I got a permission denied message.
