All the above are great suggestion but if it is going to be a one time deal then look at a tumb drive. They are cheep and if your running XP or 2000 they install themselves.

Have you tried to run the File and Setting transfer Wizard?
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools .
You can also burn the files you would like to keep and load the disk or connect by cable.

~ You don't need an internet connection to network his computers together.
The procedure depends on the operating systems he's using.
I'll assume at least one of them is Windows XP.
Here are some guides:
Connect two home computers for file sharing

connect both truly one of them by a router or by a crossover ethernet cable. you'll prefer to then enable networking and record sharing. i recognize in vista that there is an selection to attempt this contained in the community and sharing section on the community section. For living house windows xp, you want to apply the community and internet wizard

If both computers have an ethernet card, go to Best Buy and get a crossover cable.

go to an electronics store and see all of your options. it may be software, it may be making a disk copy, it may be cables that will get you to do what you want.
