ASP Transfer Method
Complete Server Object Reference
The Transfer method sends (transfers) all the state information (all
application/session variables and all items in the request collections) created
in one ASP file to a second ASP file.
When the second ASP page completes its tasks, it will NOT return to the first
ASP page (like the Execute method).
Note: The Transfer method is an efficient alternate for the Response.Redirect.
A redirect forces the Web server to handle an extra request while the Server.Transfer
method transfers execution to a different ASP page on the server, and avoids the extra round
trip.

Also look at the Server.Execute method to see the difference between the
Server.Transfer and Server.Execute methods.
