USB server on a PC - make a USB flash drive from a PC?

Question

Hard disks

Good afternoon.
I thought about copying a bunch of data from one device to another. From interfaces - only USB. For now, I'm copying everything by simply poking a 100 GB USB HDD back and forth. I wondered if there is software that can be installed on one of the PCs and share the contents of the folder with another by simply connecting them with a USB cable? A kind of USB server on a local PC.
Google gives out only USB over WiFi and various problems with virtual machines, or I'm looking for it wrong.
Will arrange software for both Linux and Windows.

Answer 1

Briefly - no!
Longer:
The problem is not in the software, but in the hardware. The USB bus doesn't work that way.
There are special cables (noticeably expensive, there is a "converter" inside), they come with "special" software.
Other options are much simpler, like USB network cards or Wi-Fi adapters, which may come in handy later, unlike a USB-USB cable.
By the way, given the average cost of a cable of 1500 rubles - one and a half thousand ... you can buy 3 Wi-Fi "whistles".
