Create a wireless Network in Ubuntu 10.04?

Question

Whenever i need to copy some files and couldnt find a pen drive, [ i dont have bluetooth enabled in my lap], I create a new ad hoc (wireless) network in windows and share the necessary files on the network and share files with the other system.

Now, i want to do the same with Ubuntu. But, i couldn't. I could create a new network, but i am not able to chare or send or even dont know how to access the system connected to the network. So, how can i do this?

Thanks

If you have the network setup, and the computers can at least see each other, making them talk is the next step. In order to do this, you can use Samba. It is designed to make network sharing between a Windows client and Linux desktop possible.
