Just as a hint here, if using Konqueror for file browser you can click on
Window" in the upper tool bar and then split the window and click on empty
space in one of the windows to make it active. Then navigate to the folder
you want to transfer from and find your package, drag and drop to the first
window which is still open and it will copy, move etc for you so you don't
have to try to get two windows on one screen. Not clear maybe, but you will
see what I mean once you try it. If you didn't know about this feature
already.
