It depends how you want to move your files around. Goodreader as Gordon
said is a good one, it will happily mount FTP, SFTP and SMB/CIFS shares, as
well as your Cloud type services.

Documents by Readdle will do likewise, except for SMB/CIFs, but the UI is
nicer.

Goodreader *also* has a feature in the app that temporarily grants access
to the iPad (just the GoodReader repository, to upload and download files)
via a web interface. Documents by Readdle does likewise.

I believe both products can be set to sync folders so they will pull down
new files from your Linux host.

Hope this helps.
