How would I be able to connect JUST my notebook and server which are both in the same room, together to get greater transfer rates while doing file transfers?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Faster transfer rate between server and notebook

Gbit requires auto-sensing crossover/straight cable ability. 
Gbit
Ethernet
802.11n
802.11g
basically in that order for speed iirc. My laptop has .11n, but the router doesnt. If I need to do a good size transfer it makes a HUGE different if I plug in (10MB/s vs 2MB/s)

just go grab and ethernet crossover cable there is no point in wireless because....well im just taking a gander here but i doubt your server has wifi....even if you only have 100mbit nics it will prob be faster than wifi just cause wifi is shared and has more chances of screwing up.....so yea get a crossover cable and be done.

Would I just plug each end into the ports on my desktop and my notebook? Or would I need an NIC card?
