Hope this won't start another argument...
You don't need shell access for that and it's fully doable with the end-user GUI, with the latest versions of firmware.

You just create a shared network folder on your computer and enter the relevant data in iLiad Settings (page 6) - computer name, workgroup (if it exists), login, pass and folder name, and select the option to connect to Computer instead of iDS (page 7).

After that, everything works automagically, by long-pressing the connect button or tapping the background connect icon: anything you put in the folder under Outbox ends up on your iLiad, while anything you've marked for sharing on your iLiad ends up back in the shared folder under Inbox.

The steps needed to do this are explained in more detail in iLiad's manual.
