How to transfer files between computers on a network

[Eric Shubert]

Trial and error. I'd start with making sure sshd is running on the 
target machine. Usually (depending on distro),
# /etc/init.d/sshd status
will tell if it's running or not. If it's not running,
# /etc/init.d/sshd start
should start it up, but only until the next reboot. The method of making 
it persistent depends on the distro.
