I had never used Gigolo before, but it was installed, so I launched it.
All it saw were things that were mounted, i.e., /, /home, another
internal drive, and the Synology. I clicked on the Network button hoping
that it would see the other computer, but it still saw nothing. And
openssh is also installed, both client and server.

But before giving up I poked at other things, and finally had success
with Actions > Connect, which popped up a window allowing me to put in
the IP address of the other computer, and log in to it. I now have a
file manager window with everything on the other computer.

Problem solved. Thanks for the tip!
