using normal lan cable you can transfer files or through wifi, if linux use ssh to transfer file its easy. if windows easily you can share files and access file on another host, before this assign static ip example 192.168.1.1
then windows key + R type \\192.168.1.1 it shows shared file and then copy whatever you want.

Try

sudo ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0

OR
you can edit

/etc/network/interfaces

and replace ip and then restart networking

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
