A simple option is to use netcat (nc). This is particularly useful on stripped down Linux systems where services like ssh and ftp are turned off.

On destination machine run the following command: nc -l -p 1234 > out.file

On source machine run the following command: nc -w 3 <dest-ip-adr> 1234 < out.file

For more details look, for example, here.

There are also netcat implementations for Windows, e.g. ncat.
