It might be neither! I suspect this is the same problem I had,
thinking NetSurf couldn't load "local" stylesheets until John-Mark
Bell (IIRC) pointed out the mistake I was making.

It's probably caused by the way you link to your stylesheets - and the
fact that the path to the file on one system is different to the path
to the file on the other system.

For example, in my site, I link to the stylesheets thusly:

 /skin/stylesheet.css

- 'skin' being a folder at the toplevel of the site, so that link
works /wherever/ in the site any given page is. When viewed locally,
however, the site is a few levels down from the root directory - so
that link, locally, is broken so the stylesheet isn't loaded. For it
to work, I'd have to create a directory called 'skin' in my root
directory and copy the stylesheet there.

To be sure I'm guessing correctly, though, it would be useful if you
posted the link you use to your stylesheet, and the path on each
system to one of your web pages (ie the contents of the URL bars - one
working, one not).
