I've never used either "ssh" or "scp". *THEREFORE* I believe I have a
reading assignment <grin>. After all, that was essentially what I was

I just picked them as common tools for logging in across IP
networks and moving files around. All of the Internet Protocol
is open to you, just as with any other ethernet-equivalent
interface.
OK. I looked at the man pages for both. The focus on secure
communication is, in *MY* case, is an undesired complication. Some
preliminary web searches helped me to better describe my setup.
The two machines are about a cubit apart.
The USB Host-Host cable and related software addresses the physical
connection.
The second machine has no physical means to access the web. Thus
removing the need for "secure" communication.
Just reading the DuckDuckGo results page caused me to realize that at an
application level I'll want a client-server relationship [I haven't
addressed the issue of which should be which.]
My search string was [ +"linux" +host" +"ip network" ].
It gave many attractive links.
As a major motivation for this project is educational, can you suggest
sources or search terms to survey:
common tools for logging in across IP networks and moving files around.
The above search string gave many Red Hat sites that explicitly stated
that [though sites were introductory] the methods used were aimed at Red
Hat systems.
I change the "linux" in the search string to "debian".
One of the hits was
[http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html]
which would illustrate what I was looking for when asking for
recommended sources.
I've only browsed the hits I've gotten.
BUT I get suggestions of questions I should be asking.
Many suggest further reading :}
Now to spend an afternoon reading.
