There are "laplink" cables for USB. They have two type A connectors and a piece of hardware between them, which acts as a USB network card to both ends. So you plug it in and get a new network interface (e.g. usb0).

The rest is identical a normal network card - set IPs or let avahi-autoipd do the job and share your files over network.

I seriously doubt there is a hardware and a driver which would do what you want. It would have to emulate a hard drive hardware and a file system whithin for your directory structure, not to mention the hardware part. I've never heard of something like this.

It sounds like what he wants is to connect two computers together with a cable and have them treat one another like flash drives.
