And then open the "Terminal" application,
confirm you can ping the Kindle at the USBnet hack assigned address;
once you can do that, use the "ssh" command line utility in the "Terminal" application to try the connection.
Do not go back to using that gui file manager application until you have the above working.

Note 1: The ;711 command on the Kindle is giving you the Wifi interface address, not the USBnet interface address.

Note 2: Once you have successfully tested the USBnet interface with ssh, then you can modify (and re-load) the iptables ruleset to allow in-bound connections from the Wifi interface on port 22.
Then you can test again by ssh'ing into the Kindle over Wifi.
