Current FAQ guide suggests that you use command line tools scp and rsync to copy
files to/from a remote Ubuntu machine. Much easier way is by using Nautilus
"connect to server" functionality (or, more precisely, gnome-vfs sftp module). I
can provide instructions.

Other related thing: it would be nice to add there instructions on how one can
use public key based authentication to avoid entering your password every time.
All this is described in man ssh - but that description is really not
user-friendly.
