First, create an account on your son's computer for yourself. Use the same info you do to log onto your own PC (username/password). Then, share the folder on your son's PC that has all the files you want to copy.
All you should have to do now is log onto your own computer normally. Then, open the Windows Explorer and go to Tools on the menu and choose Map Network Drive. Use the browser to find the shared folder on your son's PC and map the drive to it. Now you can use the explorer to copy the files over to your PC.

Check the security for the folder that you are trying to map. Make sure you (the username you are logged in as) has full control permissions on that folder.

You could also make that account a member of the Admistrators group on your son's PC.
