how to transfer files between 2 linux computers

[Abhishek Dixit]

 I Can easily access via nautilus gui the windows share


It automatically gets mounted at /media


deel at ubuntu:/media$ ls -l
total 16
drwx------ 1 deel deel 16384 2011-11-16 10:33 New Volume
deel at ubuntu:/media$ sudo chmod 755 New\ Volume/
deel at ubuntu:/media$ ls -l
total 16
drwx------ 1 deel deel 16384 2011-11-16 10:33 New Volume


If you notice in above even after changing permissions the permissions
have not changed.
What could be the reason and how can I change the permissions?
