I know how to access a linux based system from the windows machine but I don't know about sharing computers and accessing folders on a linux to linux machine.
As rightly pointed out by Rajeev , you can use NFS. 1) You have to 'export' the directory to be shared by placing an entry in /etc/exports 2) Then , you can 'mount' it from the machine using mount command. You can put an entry in /etc/fstab for automatic mounting.
This is a nice reference: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/index.html
You can use SMB also. ftp , telnet , rsh , ssh are always there.
In many cases ,symbolic links ( created using ln -s ) can provide a 'view layer' without disturbing the the organization of files.
