so, you don't want to use the "ip" command to set your network addresses

Browsing the man page for scp suggests it is massive overkill for a
2-node LAN of "trusted" machines. [The WiFi may be vulnerable, but the
two laptops have only a minimal Debian installation and have _*NOTHING*_
on them that did not come from the installation DVD ;]
You could use ftp
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-configure-ftp-server-on-debian-9-stretch-linux
but I don't think it is much easier to configure than ssh/scp.
It's not a complexity issue so much as suitable topology.
A 2-node LAN has to be as close as possible to a peer2peer network.
I keep being referred to tools suitable for a client/server model
capable of handling a massive multiplicity of nodes.
I've been a computer *consumer* since ~1961. Became much more involved
with system details when introduced to Debian 6.
