It depends how you want to move your files around. Goodreader as Gordon said is a good one, it will happily mount FTP, SFTP and SMB/CIFS shares, as well as your Cloud type services. Documents by Readdle will do likewise, except for SMB/CIFs, but the UI is nicer. Goodreader *also* has a feature in the app that temporarily grants access to the iPad (just the GoodReader repository, to upload and download files) via a web interface. Documents by Readdle does likewise. I believe both products can be set to sync folders so they will pull down new files from your Linux host. Hope this helps.

Hi
There is an app called good reader. There is both iPad and iPhone versions. It is about $5.95. It has a number of different methods of transferring files. See http://www.goodiware.com/gr-man-howto.html for the different methods.
I think it mainly wants to get files from the Linux computer to the iPad not really the other way around.

What's the best way to transfer files (images, media files, etc.) between a Linux machine and an Apple iPad running iOS 7.1?
It should preferably be achieveable from the shell and amenable to scripting.
I've started looking at http://libimobiledevice.org/ and it appears there are utilities available from that project, but I'm yet to find a good howto and I don't know what other options are open and which protocols are available.
Also, I would rather avoid taking any risks that might adversely affect the device.
