Yes, we are talking about a 10/100BaseT ethernet (private network) - sorry, 
I should have specified that.

I don't believe that there is any need for encryption in my case.  I only 
started asking about SSH because as  newbie, that seemed to be the most 
prevelant form of connection discussed here and on other lists, etc.  I just 
really need to be able to connect to transfer files internally, as well as 
have access to configure MySQL from the computer in the living room to the 
one in the bedroom without having to walk back there!  :-) 

Thanks again for your help!
