Yes, I didn't even know it existed.  It is a new term for me.

I looked for .ssh in my /home directory and did not find it.  Where do I 
look for known_hosts and ssh?  While waiting for a response, I will look 
in my /home/steven directory.

I just make the folders known_hosts and ssh but install them where?  
/home/steven?  /home/?

I want to connect from my old computer to my new computer.  I have about 
250gb of not backed up data to transfer.

I notice you have your username included like an email address.  I did 
not do that when I tried to get fish to work, I did this:   
fish://192.168.0.100/storage1.  Perhaps that is my mistake.  I have no 
knowledge to draw from, this is a new experience.  Thanks for the help.  
I need to take a break for a few minutes.  I will return to your 
instruction in a bit.
