If there's no content yet, if this is just about a few edited theme files, you can simply copy the theme folder over to your friend's wordpress installation. Download it with an FTP client (like FileZilla), then upload it to your friend's hosting.
If you have already set up lots of stuff, you can copy a wordpress installation by
1) copying all the files
2) making a backup of the database using for instance phpMyAdmin and importing it on the new server
3) editing the wp-config.php file in the main folder, changing the db server and credentials
Several steps:
1. download the entire site, including the mySql database. (Using a backup plugin is an easy approach here.)
2. create a WP site on the new domain. drop all tables in mysql.
3. upload all files except sql
4. copy the name and pass from downloaded wp-config.php and paste into new wp-config.php
5. import the sql file to the new database
6. if domain name is different (probable) you need to change all references in new sql database to refer to new domain name. Do this prior to accessing site.
7. on first login, set permalinks.
It sounds hard, but I've done it many times.
If it's going to a WP setup, use the builtin export/import.
You can install backup buddy plugin to back up the site and restore it to the new one. Or you can manually backup everything database, and the contents then try restoring it to the new one.
