The iPhone and iPod touch devices do not have built-in general file transfer capabilities, so each third-party application that requires access to external files is solely responsible for implementing its own file transfer mechanism. The initial release of iSilo™ for iPhone OS, version 1.0, provided the ability to transfer document files to your device by downloading them from a web server.

Note that the images shown here may differ from your particular setup depending on the version of iSilo™ you have installed and the version of Windows XP on your system, but the instructions are pretty much the same. The screenshots in this article were taken on a system running Windows XP Home.
