One of the things I like about linux is primarily you have options.
Yes, the method I mentioned has issues with large transfers and for that
I use Filezilla because it continues to try till complete.  Day to day
simple transfers, it's nice to have a "folder" to click, type in
password, move my stuff and be done.  Long term or constant access I
would go the route of setting up fstab to mount a location.  The last I
reserve for local network but I am to understand a ssh connection can be
established, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=270806 .  Point is
there are options.  Best thing is to try a couple and go with what makes
you feel comfortable.
