You might want look at using a Courier Sender.

Courier Sender


The courier sender is installed and configured by default on all primary and secondary sites. It is not displayed, and cannot be created, in the Configuration Manager console because it must be manually started from the Configuration Manager programs folder on the Start menu. Courier senders are used only for software distribution to send package data to other sites by using physical media instead of sending data over the network. To use the courier sender, you must first create a standard sender connection between the parent site and the child site. Once the standard sender is created, you then create a courier sender address for each site to use the courier sender functionality.

device.
