I'm sorry -- I assumed that both machines were running a web-server of

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.
