Hi Narve,
you only need the ssh/scp-server running on the iLiad. If you use the ipkg supplied by Mathijs to install dropbear you are on the sunny side of life, because the installer even creates the links for scp and ssh.
To copy files onto your iLiad - or to remote login into the device from your client - you need a 3rd party client software, which is available on the internet for free. For a Windows computer try to find a download location for WinSCP and PuTTY. For an Apple (Mac OS X) try to find Fugu.
WinSCP and Fugu are filemanagers very similar to the windows explorer or Apple finder, except the fact that they are accessing the files on the remote machine, e.g. the machine which is running the ssh server (which is roughly similar to a machine running a ftp server).
Once you have Mathij's dropbear running on the iLiad - and the network interface has been brought up - you can enter the ip number of the iLiad into WinSCP or Fugu on your Computer - and after providing the login password a connection is established through ssh - and you're able to access all the files inside the iLiad from your remote computer.
Take care
