You cannot use http: to connect to the other box because it might not have a web server running on it.
I believe you should explain what you really need. 1. Do you need a web server? 2. Do you need file sharing over the network? Remember that most services are not installed by default in Linux. Meaning, these are off, and you need to install them. You cannot connect to another computer using the HTTP protocol unless that other computer has a web server running on it. If you want file sharing over the network, you need to install either Samba or NFS, or both if you must.
