Yes, so since the entire problem is that one of the machines involved
doesn't have a working network, how does netcat help?

I'm confused. What are you talking about? I don't see any alternative
suggested above, beyond what obviously isn't applicable because it
assumes having a network connection, which as indicated isn't the case.

Unless you mean "e.g., using a wired connection"? It's not clear that
that's an available option in this case, either, although there are
probably a lot of cases where it will be. (I've had the misfortune
recently, in my workplace, of having to image and set up a lot of
laptops which don't come with a wired Ethernet adapter, and most
recently with ones that don't come with an external USB-or-similar
wired-Ethernet adapter dongle either.)
