Is there a possible software that allows you to send files between two computers via a usb connection (i.e. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=300314)?

Why would you bother with a USB link, when a simple CAT5e network cable offers much greater throughput for a fraction of the price?

Andrew, you can choose to move files using USB, but you can also do so using a network cable. If you are going to use a network cable and connect directly from one computer to another, the you must use a CROSSOVER cable. To do it this way, you do not need any special software.

Way back in the dim dark days of yold this was always true, today it is not generally necessary with 99% of modern hardware capable of auto connecting.
A crossover cable will always work, a straight through cable will work for anything other than ancient hardware.
Better still for less than the cost of that USB to USB cable buy a small switch and a pair of network cables.

Although the CROSSOVER cable could achive the job, it is not so wasy to use for normal user like me. It is not so easy to configure. I have to switch the TCP/IP configuration everytime when I want to do the file transfer. I founded a good solution for file trans and synchronization as the following;

It is no more difficult to configure than any other method. Most of the hurdles are getting around the bodgy security traps which will affect any interconnection.

No that is how you have configured things, why do you have to switch network parameters constantly?
As I suggested above adding a small switch would have been the easiest, fastest, and most comprehensive solution.

You found a solution, the good folks at Targus were probably the ones who founded it. If USB works for you that's great, but its far from the easiest or most efficient solution.

TCP/IP is far more difficult to configure than a basic USBA-USBA transfer program FOR JOE USER.
If this user has ADSL or cable he already has a switch and could transfer the files via that. Just set the IP address on computer 2 to DHCP and the router will take care of everything.
Here is the basic rundown of both operations:
USB-USB
=========
Purchase software/cable kit.
Install software.
Plug in cable.
Transfer files.
ETHERNET AD-HOC
============
Purchase cable.
Connect laptops.
Set IP on machine 1.
Set IP on machine 2.
Transfer files.
TCP/IP is the easiest way to setup the transfer of files... FOR TECH TYPES.
USBa-USBa is the easiest way to setup the transfer of files... FOR JOE USER.
