I'm saving you from headache:

1) Make sure you can reach destination's IP address using ping:

ping <destination IP>

2) To ssh destination desktop (pre-configured dell-desktop):

ssh -l <username> <destination IP>

3) To transfer via sftp:

sftp <username>@<destination IP>

Sftp works like ftp so my guess is you will probably wants some sort of ftp client for this. I'm not exactly sure nautilus can sftp (I prefer other apps that I knew since long) but Krusader can sftp using "fish://<username>@<destination IP>" format in its address bar.
