A smile where the person is so full of it that you want them to “eat shit” (you hate it)

A regular ethernet cable is sufficient in most cases. Except for ancient network cards, most newer ones know to flip the wiring to be able to communicate between two computers.

The only thing is that you need to set the network options manually in both computers - set the IP address and subnet. Then just transfer it using any network file sharing protocol. (Windows already has file sharing, Linux you can use sftp, or use a http server)

Edit: Looks like you asked specifically for USB. Sadly that is not possible specifically with usb since both devices are “hosts”. I provided this solution since ethernet cable are also very common and cheap to use
