I too have been exploring methods to get video content to my tablet
(Acer Iconia). Even mounting it is quite the challenge (where as my
B&N Nook table is easy peasy).

I've tried ssh clients, but they seem to choke on large transfer. Current
I am using SwiFTP server. I've moved gigabytes of data without issue
from my linux computer up and down.

Also tried with limited success is an app called Astro with bluetooth 
transfer
and another calling itself 'File Manger which seems to have some SMB
capability. I haven't proved that  yet.

Yes, I don't like FTP, but in this limited sense, behind a firewall with 
the
ability to use username/password is OK. And solves the problem of
getting video, epub, pictures and audio to/from the android table.
