Absolutely you can do this

Just go to the Market and get ES File Explorer. This is what I use to exchange files whether movies, music, whatever and it works great. They have been doing a good job of updating it constantly, which is great. Anyways, good luck and let me know how it goes.

If you can connect to it WiFi then you shouldn't have a problem. If you can see your computer on the network through WiFi then you should be good. Best way to know for sure if this works for you is to give it a shot

Worst thing that can happen is it doesn't work. O can't see why not, but good luck regardless.
