You could set up an ethernet connection with file sharing or ftp but if the need to transfer files is just a one off job then it would be easier to use an external hard drive.

You do need a special USB cable that has the inputs and outputs reversed on one end.

They're not terribly expensive...

Or you can connect your old hard disk into your new computer, take ownership of it and copy your files that way.
