Thanks for the info, Theo. I've got tar (and have used it a LOT) on my
old pc, but I don't think I've got SSH...at least, "man ssh" and "man SSH"
don't find anything. Someone recommended "scp", and "man" didn't find
anything for that on my machine, either.

You'd probably want to install the ssh package (which includes scp and sftp
too). As potato is old you might need to change a few lines in your
/etc/apt/sources.list - see here:
http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/

Then plug the potato machine into a network that has internet access and do:
apt-get update
apt-get install ssh

That should get you an ssh client without disturbing other things too much.
I wouldn't leave it connected to the net for more than necessary as I have
no idea what state the security of potato is like these days - last updates
were released 5 years ago.
