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.
