Here is one method. Another would be to use the 'connect to server' button after setting up passwordless SSH. Note that this will work if both computers are running a Linux flavor, but not between Windows and Ubuntu.

**Step 1:**Setup a passwordless SSH connection between the two computers: How can I set up password-less SSH login?

**Step 2:**Then mount the shared folder from the remote computer: Mount remote directory using SSH
