If using Linux i.e. Ubuntu I am not sure what is the best or most elegant GUI equivalent (Functionally) for winscp, it would be great to be able to use the same open source GUI for use on NIT's, and/or Win, MAC or Linux PC's.

Filezilla perhaps? http://filezilla-project.org/client_screenshots.php

I appreciate that there are many ways to achieve this task in a Linux environment, where I would welcome Linux users experience and guidance on best methods for simplified file, transfer, synchronisation & backup via ideally one GUI application.

i.e what are your favourite Wi-Fi method(s) and why, in order to gauge and conclude whats fits best for overall needs on/with our NIT's

I am aware for example that rsync and more recently grsync (GUI for rysnc) are now available via OS2008 and app manager repositiries.

Could someone explain how to use these tools and how they differ and/or are similar to Filezilla and winscp?

Thanks.
