How can I import externally changed files into a TFS project?

I have a project under source control in TFS. A developer has made some changes external to our network TFS installation and I have the files on flash drive. When I copy the new files into my local TFS folder and try to push up the changes TFS informs me there are no changes. When I do a compare I do see that there are changes.

What is the best way to get these changes back into TFS. Excuse my ignorance I have primarily worked with the Work/Test tabs in TFS.

Use a local workspace instead of a server workspace. Local workspaces are based on the file system and do not require you to check out files before you see that they're changed.
