Assume after download you have hierarchy:

setup.exe
ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.switch.ch%2fmirror%2fcygwin%2f/release
ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.switch.ch%2fmirror%2fcygwin%2f/setup.ini

Copy all to new host and just run setup.exe with selecting local install.
You will be prompted for location of  directory with setup.ini file.
Select and press 'Next'.
