So, it depends on what you mean by 'send'. You could achieve this with HTML forms if one user uploads a file and then the other would download it from the server it was uploaded to.

Or, if you ran a web server on one computer it could be set to receive the incoming files (you'd want to be careful of security considerations when doing this).

Otherwise I think you can use JavaScript in the newer version of Mac OS X to script actions within the operating system. Transferring files over the network might be achievable, but it would assume the receiving computer had already accepted to receive files in this way.
