I have a somewhat important question: I tend to access my computer from home remotely via SSH, but would also like the ability to send a file from my computer to another whose IP address I know through some sort of encryption, directly, without SMB or FTP transfers. I can install a program or two. Is this possible?

You might want to try scp or sftp. It's sending files over the ssh tunnel. It works in booth ways.

Example:
scp /path/to/file user@somehost:/path/to/where
scp user@somehost:/path/to/where /path/to/file

Edit: If you're using Windows, you might want to have a look at WinSCP as an scp client.
