I am not clear as to what you mean. Most of my desktop is not files, it is drives and their specific arrangement on the desktop. That arrangement is probably stored in some obscure file deep in system settings.
You can set up a networking system between the two computers. Frankly, though, if you're just talking about a file or two I would just copy them to a flash drive, then take that drive to the other computer and copy the files off that way. Or use Airdrop. Or email them to the other account. As I said, it is hard to know what to advise you without more detail. :-)
