This you want want to do it that way, the other option is to SSH in (through puTTY, etc.) and copy the files located /var/luna/data/browser/icons to your internal storage. The path to that is /media/internal, which is the root folder you will see when you connect your Pre as a USB drive.

So, for example, if I wanted to get an image from /var/luna/data/browser/icons and put it on the 'USB Drive', I would type as root:

cp /var/luna/data/browser/icons/image.png /media/internal

When you plug your Pre in as a USB Drive, the image will be right there. Then to copy it back, it would be the opposite.

cp /media/internal/image.png /var/luna/data/browser/icons/

I hope this makes sense, and I haven't been too confusing.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up! This is EXACTLY what I needed. I'm in the process of setting up the SFTP since I think it will make my life easier when it comes to making modifications such as this. The steps you wrote regarding the SSH way really helps as well since it was what I was not understanding.
