How do I share files (securely) using wifi modem/router?

I connect to the internet via a Netgear wifi modem/router.
My own PC (Win98SE) is connected to this by wire, my wife's
laptop(WinXPSP2) is connected by wifi.
This works OK - both machines can access the internet fine.
But,I would like to be able to send files from the PC to the laptop.

How do I congifure things to enable files to be sent from the PC to
the laptop without have the laptop or PC vulnerable on the internet?

I would appreciate any help

Regards,
Terry
