There are better options, given that both machines are Ubuntu. You
could set up file sharing via nfs, and mount one computer's drive over
the network. An easier way would be to use a graphical file manager
like Konqueror that supports the fish (files over ssh) protocol. Then
you could just open the konqueror browser, type fish://<hostname or IP
of the other machine) and then drag & drop the files you want from one
computer to the other.
