Getting direct access to my Android machine

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Define "direct access". If you want to work with it, like sending 
commands and such, then yeah ssh. If you just want to access the files 
on it, which is how it sounds, you should be able to mount the android 
device as a USB mass storage device. The thing is, you might have to 
change a setting on the device to make that work. It varies a little 
depending on what kind of Android device you have.
