Just do the way you normally copy files. I’m assuming that you want to copy the setup files for alcohol and the game. By the way, he won’t be able to run the exe files in linux unless he uses wine.

What do you mean he can’t “add” the files to his computer? Do you mean he can’t COPY the files over or is your friend being silly and trying to actually install a Windows-based program into Linux? First off, did he even mount the jumpdrive? Which distro of Linux is your friend using? What is the partition type of the jumpdrive (fat, fat32, ntfs, etc…)? All of these questions will need to be dealth with and I know the problem will be resolved. Good luck!

Quick answer is to use email or upload to a web server.
Long answer: I havnt as yet come across a USB drive that Linux cant recognise. Try running a dmesg to see what the device file is and mount it like this mount -t vfat /dev/(device file name) /mnt
All your files should be in /mnt
