The suggestion of using scp (of which I hadn't heard before) sounds good
since both Fedora machines already have it. How do I find the name I
might have assigned to one computer, and assign one to the other? I
think I did it at setup before, but forgot the name since I've never
needed it. I assigned numbers to both for router purposes.
