If you have OpenSSH installed on the phone, you could use PuTTY from you Windows PC and open a terminal window on you PC that runs on the phone and do it that way.
It runs through Wifi.
Then again use WinSCP and you can have access to the entire divice, again from a Windows PC

do you have ssh server installed ? that can make things a lot easier if you do .
you can use a program like filezilla to get your files , or run commands on your n900 without having to type on x-terminal .
if you don't have ssh server , use wget to download the file , then use dpkg -i to install .
or
install backup menu if you don't have it , then reboot and open it , then press "w" , all your partitions (excluding rootfs) will be available as mass storage devices immediately .
if you don't have backup menu installed , use wget to get it from the repository then dpkg -i to install it .(you also need to get its dependencies and install one by one)
if you happen to be lucky enough and you have previously set your n900 to automatically connect to wifi ,then connecting to the internet to download the programs mentioned above should be quite easy , if you didn't do that please say that here , so people can help you connect to the internet .

Check this post, it might help you out to turn on your wifi

I think you're only interested into the last part of the command which is :
I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try.
Once your wifi is up, with a little chance, it will connect to your last network, else you need to configure it to connect to a particular network.
