    I do not know anything about a Verizon FIOS modem. But if you get 
the Internet to both computers at the same time, it will be easy to move 
files between them.

    First you need to learn the IP number of your Ubuntu and windows 
computer. In Ubuntu you learn by typing in a terminal
$ sudo ifconfig and it will show you the IP number.

    The above is simple. But networking is a deep subject. Another 
simple method is to use a USB stick. If you want to put something from 
Windows onto Ubuntu just load it on the stick and plug it into the 
Ubuntu computer.
