I *am* uploading the files directly to my Linux server,
called "Mother" (as in Alien).

After collecting a new set of data, I need to create a new directory

log into my Linux server, create the new directory, cd to it,

transfer option.
What a complex setup! Can't you user some of the Linux server's disk
space and write the files directly to that disk? Seems that would be
much better.
I used to use a story about how an amateur mason builds a brick
wall.... He goes to Home Depot and loads bricks on the cart, pushes
the cart through the checkout and unloads into his pickup truck,
drives home and unloads the truck on the driveway. Later he restacks
the bricks near where the wall is to be built. Then one by one takes
bricks off the stack and places them on the wall. He lifts every
brick five times
The professional has the brick company deliver the bricks three feet
from where the wall is to be built. He lifts each brick once. (and
likely pays less for the bricks)
I've used this story in data processing system designs when I see
people moving data around. I say "think, where is the final place
you want your data. Then just put it there to begin with and be done
with it."
So, just open some kind of connection and put the data where it goes.
Even a little Arduino has more then enough power for that.
(Yes I actually did the brick wall the wrong way, once. Never again.)
