I always used to use Nemo and Caja, but they are slow (1 connection at a
time only), and often don't let you retry if the network times out or
another error occurs... so you have to manually hunt out the files that
weren't copied/moved etc. So now I use FileZilla as recommended by Terry :D

Ah, I see, that does appear to be a 3.5 inch model. Won't fit in my
laptop then. This might be a pain because we'd need a power brick and an
adaptor to plug it in to USB. I have a power brick I can bring if needed.

Shutting down isn't a problem - it saves checkpoints and you can set how
