View Description

Server.Transfer takes the control execution of the page to the new page and thereafter it doesnt return automatically to the original page.

The transfer happens at the server side and the client browser is not aware of the change and hence will not update the URL.

Server.Execute actually executes the specified page and then returns back to the original page. This can be used in scenarios where you want to go to a specific page, execute some thing and then come back to the original page.
