Transferring Files to New Ubuntu System

[Joseph Polanik]

Okay, I go a crossover cable; installed ssh server on the Ubuntu (host 
or destination system); and restarted sshd. the source/client system had 
ssh client installed.


however, when trying to connect from the client system I got the following:


ssh: dell-desktop: Temporary failure in name resolution
lost connection

(dell-desktop is the pre-configured hostname.)

What am I missing?

TIA,

Joe Polanik
