:) MToolsFM is a little application that allows transferring files
to/from remote floppies (or usb sticks in this case)
I also remembered some tweaking in /etc/mtools.conf that was required.
This line was required in my /etc/mtools.conf file:
drive u: file="$DISPLAY" remote
and then my ~/.mtoolsfm file looks like this:
DRIVES="u"
LEFTDRIVE="u"
RIGHTDRIVE=" "
(I had to figure out the mtools stuff too, after you mentioned you
didnt' know what MToolsFM was, I remembered I was in the same dillema!)

This does work. It is done in my classrooms. It works great in a
classroom that contains the server and a few clients, because the (1)
server is used as a client anyway, and that's just the only computer you
can use if you want to scan. It works out really well.

Still clueless here, I haven't sent up any local apps before...
