Then it's time for the next step. To transfer files from one machine to the other, there are several options. An easy way is setting up an FTP server, or setting up a samba server, whatever. Most likely, there is already an ftp server and a samba server installed on one of the machine's, so that would not be to hard.
Lets use the redhat machine as a server, I am more familiar with that one.
Can you do on the RH machine:
ftp localhost ?

First (when you are connected to localhost) see if you can login with a username and password (not root)
If that worked: okay, what ip address did you give this machine?

If you do the ftp 192.168.1.1 thing,
do you get a login prompt? If so, login with a username and password from your RH machine. (The same one you used when you did the login on localhost)
Remember: you are connecting to another machine, so your local accounts from the x.x.x.2 machine won't be any good. Use an account from the x.x.x.1 machine!
