Not as currently written.
I presume ::
You have USBnetworking package installed.
And a way to connect to the Kindle while messing around with the ssh client packages installed there.
While the main business of that package is putting an ssh server on the Kindle, it also includes some ssh related client applications.
sshfs for one.
You would also need the sshfs server (part of the openssh set of programs) installed on your PC.
If you are running Linux or MacOSx, they are probably there as part of the default install.
If you are running Windows, you will have to install them.
(Which might be difficult, because that would effectively give you more than a single "seat" on the common, single-seat, Windows.
And MicroSoft discourages anyone having more than one seat on Windows without paying for it.)
That requirement met and -
Then use sshfs client on the Kindle to mount a directory exported from the PC somewhere under /mnt/us/*
Now that part, I don't recall anyone playing around with that other than NiLuJe, geekmaster and twobob.
So searching the forum for guidance might give few results.
With that part working -
Then I could modify the script to accept an argument giving an alternate path to the current /mnt/us/documents.
= = = =
I don't recall if we have a working NFS Kindle client, or a working CIFS (Samba) Kindle client.
I do recall there was some work done on them by twobob.
All Windows versions support CIFS (a.k.a: Windows file sharing).
And MS has an NFS server for Windows as part of, or an add-in to, their Unix support stuff.
There was also some work done on getting NBD client working on the Kindles.
That one I don't recall the status of.
But give up all hope of Windows ever supporting NBD servers.
And then there is USB/IP -
Which I don't recall anyone working on that one.
It tunnels USB i/o messages over any IP based network to/from a remote USB device.
I think that open WRT was the leader in that project.
