Yes it is possible, and  I have used it successfully in the past.

I used some software called Am2PC, a quick search should find it. I think it should be on Aminet as well.

Only thing is that it only works on Windows pre XP.

I'll try my best. Its been a while since I used it.

I think you should have 2 sets of files, those for the Amiga and those for the PC. It should be simply a case of copying one set to a directory on the PC, and the other to the Amiga.

Then there should be 2 executable files on each machine. I think you run the PC one first, and then the Amiga one. There is a question at the begining asking what cable you want to use.

If you don't get any errors then you should be ready to go. I think you can then simply browse the PC's drives via an icon created on the Amigas desktop.

Just remembered - I think there are 2 config programs to run before hand. These should just let you setup the cable type.

Sorry. I didn't realise you had no way to get any files to the Amiga.
