The SSH protocol lets you SCP into it. SCP is a secure replacement for FTP. On linux, just use the scp command. On Windows, install WinSCP and use that.

On linux, you can also mount a remote file system (like in a kindle) locally with sshfs. There are tools to mount SSH file systems on Windows too, such as Dokan (not to be confused with Duokan). Here is one that uses the Dokan library: http://code.google.com/p/win-sshfs/

You can use SCP over USB when usbnetwork is active, or over Wi-Fi (if enabled in the usbnetwork config file and/or firewall settings). When using SCP, the kindle USB Drive is located at /mnt/us.
