I could not get any of the Linux native applications to work as nicely as WinSCP either, so I decided to follow the advice from Moe The Cat. Before doing that I did a lot of searching with Google trying to find a Linux native application that could do the job as nicely as WinSCP, but everywhere I looked the advice seemed to be to just run WinSP in Wine.

I installed Wine and then installed WinSCP in Wine. When finished, WinSCP worked on Linux in Wine just as it does in WinXP. WinSCP has a nice two panel GUI interface that shows the local file system in the left panel and the OpenInkpot file system in the right window. File copying is just a drag and drop operation between the two windows. I have been avoiding installing Wine in Ubuntu, but getting a nice file transfer manager for putting books into OpenInkpot made it worth it for me. It took easily less than 10 minutes to get it all installed and working.
