If you have a valid RHN contract, you can download any package you want from Red Hat site using any standard web browser and then copy them to your server.
If not, then it's possible to get the packages from an open repository such as CentOS' and manually transfer them to your server (FTP, USB stick, local network, SneakerNet, etc).
