You can also setup SSH over Wi-Fi too!

1) You need to generate a key with PuTTygen. It is a part of PuTTy:
- Once open, click Generate, move your mouse long enough to finish.
- Whatever you see in the box, copy it to a file named authorized_keys , without extension, with Unix (LF) endings. This should go to Kindle, in the usbnet/etc/ folder.
- Save the private key as a .ppk file somewhere on your PC.
2) Install and open WinSCP.
3) Kindle and PC should be on the same Wi-Fi network. Find your Kindle's IP address (e.g. type ;711 in the search on home menu and hit enter, go to page 2).
4) Setup a new connection in WinSCP: IP-address you just found, port 22, username root, no password. Go Advanced - SSH - Authentication - and select the .ppk file you just created.
5) Connect Kindle to wired USBNetwork, open KUAL - and enable SSH over Wi-Fi in the USBnet menu.
6) Remove the cable and connect!

Because this uses a unique pair of SSH keys, as long as only you have them, this is a safe connection.
