It sounds like you should be able to.

Provided you share a folder on the host properly you should just be able to connect to it by using "\\PC IP address\sharename" typed into an explorer address bar.

You should be prompted for a username and password if you've opened the share to locally authenticated users rather than open to the world.

Bear in mind however, firewalls installed on any of the machines involved could get in the way unless they're properly configured.

to CF by the way.
