Today, I realize that connecting two or more Ubuntu laptops is very easy. Just install openssh using command line:
Installed ssh on your PC you can make file sharing and remote desktop to your other PCs. To connecting your PCs, use the ssh command with the username@ipaddress. For example, now I am on my laptop namely bta@g580, I want to remote desktop to my other Ubuntu laptop, namely bta@d725 with ipaddress : 192.168.3.5. So, I do the following commands,
which copy all my files in home directory in d725 to my home directory in g580. The last question maybe: how can I know my ipaddress? the answer is, check it using command: ifconfig. You can do this file sharing and remote desktop over wifi or wired connection.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
