ssh again
Having got ssh working reliably oevr my home network, tahnks ot teh opatient
help of thsi list, I am now trying to copy files aroind. I am on
192.168.0.2, but have sshed in to 192.268.0.3 (I must get hostnames
working :-( ).
The other day I successfully ciopied a pictiyure from .2 to .3, and now I am
tring to copy from .3 to .2. I have been usinmg this:
"To copy a file from B to A while logged into B:
scp /path/to/file username@a:/path/to/destination
"
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106480/how-to-copy-files-from-one-machine-to-another-using-ssh
Here is what I have done (all of it, in case something I deem irrelevant is
the crux of the matter)):

lisi@Tux-II:~$ ssh peter@192.168.0.3

---------------------------------------
Once I have one file copied, I shall divert back to square one and sort out
host names, starting with the hints I have already been given. I can't keep
using full IPs!
After all this, my main motivation for learning right now was to ssh into two
computers that I administer 11 miles away, without having to bother the
owners (I would just have to say: leave your computers turned on), and I'm
not going to be able to do it, I think, because their ISP uses dynamic
IPs. :-( (I have a static IP.)
