You'll have to have sshd running, of course, to use scp. You can use
straight IP addresses instead of names, though, if you want (fill in
the correct values below):

$ scp user@192.168.1.1:machine_1_path/stuff otheruser@192.168.1.2:machine_2_path/junk/

The man page explains all of this in more detail, naturally.

Hope this helps,
Kevin
