I'm sorry -- I assumed that both machines were running a web-server of 
some tyoe.  My bad.

If the machine with the files will not serve them via HTTP then he will 
have to access the files from his network, over the LAN, or move/copy them 
from one machine to the next.  An SMB/NFS share should work.  If that 
isn't possible, then maybe he could 'scp' the files from one machine to 
the other.
