Yes, to put it simply. Simply 'share' the floppy disc drive and then you should be able to see it across the network. If you are connecting the two computers directly, and one is a bit older, you need a twisted pair cable.

One alternative I have used is to copy the files onto a flash drive - that is a bit easier than using the networking option.

If you need more details, just say and I'll supplement.
