Transferring files to Linux target via JTAG

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 I'm trying to transfer files to uCLinux running on a NIOS II CPU with MMU. The problem is that the design has no ethernet controller. Is there a way to transfer files to the target Linux via JTAG? Which software would I need on the target and on the host?
