However a workaround for many use cases is to install an FTP or sftp

either use a basic FTP client from Linux or just mount the server from
Nautilus and use drag-and-drop. Be careful though. Doing this with a
large group of files at once seems to give random dropouts.
On that note, across numerous computers and OSs, and network schemes,
and file managing programs, I've always found that sort of thing to
happen.
It's meant that I've given up on doing backups on/with large storage
devices, because it *always* cocks up, and it's a big pain in the neck
to try and sort out which files got skipped, aborted, partially
transferred, or corrupted.
If I want to copy, say a few thousand files, I have to spend hours
manually selecting batches of no more than a few hundred files at a
time. I have NEVER got this to work well.
What about grabbing the files you want and compressing them with Archive
Manger or something? Then you only have to concern yourself with just
one file, granted it might be a very large zipped file, but you won't
have to worry about losing files or having them get corrupted during
transfer.....or maybe I'm not on the right track with this....but
there's my suggestion.
