Michael, "names" on a network are fake.
There are only IP address in a network .
You "translate a name" into its corresponding IP address via a "name
resolution service"
A "name resolution service" can be as simple as an /etc/hosts file or as
complex as a full blown self-replicating/redundant name server (like bind).
At the end, EVERYTHING goes via an IP address, so your question might
actually work in reverse:
I was wondering.... could you do this via NAMEs?
Yes, assuming that the name can be translated via some "name resolution
service"

Yes, scp (like cp) will copy back or forth, the 2 commands below are
legal:
scp myuser@remotebox:/that/file /this/path
scp /this/path myuser@remotebox:/that/file
1st one will 'retrieve' /that/file from 'remotebox' into /this/path
2nd one will copy /this/path to /that/file in 'remotebox'.

This is interesting. Does this really mean that
scp in reverse is possible by using a similar syntax
with the dot at the end to extract a file from a remote
computer to my local computer?

scp 192.168.0.4:Pictures/2009-**Move.from.Florida .
I'm guessing the path of the pictures and take note of the dot at the end
