Ok...most of you are either clueless or not paying attention.
He says he has a wireless connection..This means he already has a router and a network setup.
Just share the folder with the files you want, map the drive on the other machine and transfer them straight across.
Instructions below.

If both of the computers have a network card built in you could buy something called a "Crossover cable" Lets the two computers talk to each other VIA a network ... just using the cable.
However, depending how your wireless is setup...you might be able to set up file sharing and view files from each computer.
Google File sharing?

If your computers are physically close, you can just connect both using LAN cable, set a shared folder in either one and just copy the file, as you do on your local computer.
If both computers are connected to the Internet, you can also use FTP clients for file transfer. Find the IP address of one, connect to the FTP program from the other and you are through.

You could also use the free program called Folder Share if you're on a Windows machine.
It will sync files in specific folders to each machine. Works great for me.

If it gets to be a real pain, copy it ont a CD or flash stick and carry it over.
