A home router will allow you to connect several computers to one internet connection, as well as connecting them to each other.
If you insist you can't share them like this for some reason, you could install another network card in your Windows computer. Then you'd configure the computers onto static IP addresses. How about 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 for the windows machine and 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 for the linux one(yes, there's no gateway and no DNS).
Then you'd configure the computers so they can access each other's files. If you install Samba on your Linux machine, it can provide a Windows file share for your Windows machine to log into. Linux can also log into Windows file shares, if you configure your Windows computer to allow it.
Sadly there's not one sole solution that'd allow you to initiate file transfers from either end, even if you use a USB-USB cable.

EHCI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual EHCI(4)
NAME
ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
SYNOPSIS
device ehci
DESCRIPTION
The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.
EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol. This means that they normally have one or more companion
controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices. Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con-
trollers. The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector
appear to connect to different USB busses.
SEE ALSO
ohci(4), uhci(4), usb(4)
HISTORY
The ehci device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.
BUGS
The driver is not finished and is quite buggy.
There is currently no support for isochronous transfers.
