Two computers-one burner

Is there some way to use the CD burner on one computer to copy files from another computer that does not have a burner? Can they be connected in some way to do this?

Thanks

you can use a variety of things. I think one of the simplest is a USB portable or flash drive. You can also use it as temporary storage away fom the hard drive.
