What is the best and quickest method to transfer files from PC running WinXP to an old PC running DOS? And what if the PCs are connected by LAN.

I know the possible methods are:
1. Floppy disk (small files only, may not have drive on new PC)
2. Zip drive (may not have parallel port on new PC)
3. Serial/Parallel using 'commander' software like Norton Commander
4. Set up LAN (can be tedious to set up for quick transfer)
5. CD (tedious and slow to burn files)

Is there any other better and quicker/adhoc methods? Is there 'commander' software on both platforms and uses LAN (packet)?
