Save file from one Ubuntu machine to another?

I have one machine running Ubuntu 15.04. I have installed Deluge on that machine. But I want files that are downloaded to be saved to another machine on the same LAN that is running Ubuntu 14.04. I can update it to 15.04, but doubt that's the issue. I am very, very new to all things Linux, so have no idea about how to browse (from a dialog box) to a folder on another machine so as to be able to select it.

The target machine is a Plex Media Server, dedicated to that purpose. So the source machine will only write (save) to the target machine. Is this something that has to be restarted every time either machine restarts? I'm hoping for a persistent method.

I'm a rookie, but I'll give it a try.

Every time I write to it, or every time either machine restarts?

if you use the automounter as suggested it will do all automatic once set up.

If you do it manually you need to mount it every time after one of the machines restarted or after the network connection between them was offline for a while.

Threw an error that {aptitude} not installed, so installed it OK, but then this:

Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main aptitude-doc-en all 0.6.11-1ubuntu3
Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
E: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cwidget/libcwidget3_0.5.17-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'

This is a ubuntu 15.04 machine.

Well, just found the real issue: this machine updated to 15.04. I did not know I had it set to update automatically. Anyway, I can talk to it via the LAN, but it cannot access the internet, so cannot get any of the programs to install. Google is nearly chocked with others with the same complaint. So I think I have to pause on this issue until I fix that. I'll be posting a new request for that issue.
