I have even employed copy&paste via the terminal (using uuencode or base64 
encoding of binaries) to place binaries on a system when it wasn't possible to 
use the network or similar. Even have written a python script one day to do 
the tar-zip-base64-teletype-unbase64-unzip-untar sequence making the tty into 
something resembling scp.
Not recommended for multi-megabyte files though, unless your coffee machine is 
miles away :)

In general, I use ssh (scp) using dropbear on target. I typically place a 
pre-set authorized_keys files on target, which makes it safe to plug the 
device straight into the company network, and i don't have to type passwords then.

Mike.
