No, that won't work. USB uses a master/slave model and both of your
laptops are "masters". If you want to use USB you would have to use an
intermediate storage device.
If you have a home router or a switch with at least two Ethernet ports,
then the easiest way is probably to install openssh-server on one of the
two laptops and use scp or rsync from the other laptop.
