Aside from setting up an ftp server on one of these two machines, what would
be the best way to transfer files back and forth between linux boxes? I'm
running Red Hat 8 as my distro.

Thanks in advance,

NFS.

loads of ways.
if you want a permenant connection and they are on the same network,
then it's probably simplest to use NFS: one machine "exports" some
subdirectory, and on the other you mount the external drive on a
normal mount point.

man NFS is helpful.

or you can use rcp for a one-off transfer man rcp

If they are physically remote, and on different networks, there is not
much wrong with ftp except the data is not encrypted. there are
various secure versions, such as sftp

You can alos 'tunnel' nfs through a ssh secure connection if you want
ot start getting fancy...

Thanks a lot, NFS would appear to fit better than anything I thought of.

Depends on how far those files must travel.
If the two parties share an ethernet network (LAN) NFS is the one to
pick.
If the two parties share some secure area with multiple subnets FTP is
needed.
If you don't know who own the wire and the air between the two linux
boxes
(lets say tranfer files between your workplace and your home) then
SFTP is the best choice IMHO, of course.

cheers. Javier.

You could use a floppy or cdrom or serial PPP connection but really ftp is
good.
