The only way to connect to the Ultra is using ethernet. It is possible to set up a direct connection to the MacBook using one of the two ethernet ports on the MacBook. But it won't be any faster, so IMO not worth the trouble.
What speeds are you seeing for large file transfers? I don't own this model, but I think large-file transfer speeds should be in the 60-70 MB/s range.
