How to enable local transfer on Steam
To enable local transfer on Steam, just dive into the Steam settings. Click on 'Downloads', and you'll find an option for 'Allow downloads from other PCs'. Toggle that on, and boom, you're set! This feature uses your local network to speed up game downloads by grabbing files from other PCs on your network that already have the game.

Actually, Steam doesn't specifically call it 'local transfer' but the feature you're looking for is Steam's 'Steam Library Sharing'. It lets you share your game library with family and friends on the same local network. Just go to Steam > Settings > Family, and enable 'Family Library Sharing'.
FYI, there's no such thing as 'local transfer' on Steam in the way you might think. You might be thinking of downloading or sharing games locally, which is kinda covered by Steam's Family Sharing or downloading from local sources in the Download settings.
