Using Dropbox or Skydrive are good apps, but if you want a direct connection between notebook and desktop, you can share a folder on your desktop. This is a easy youtube movie which describes how to share a folder on your desktop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fu0LtdVmGw). Then, if the notebook and desktop are in the same network, you can access the shared folder from the notebook via \\<desktopname>\<sharedfol
If you're able to install programs on your laptop and desktop I would just install Dropbox or use SkyDrive.

In your case Dropbox is very useful and will give you the best flexibility. Install the dropbox on both computers and create an account.
