Well, for mass storage mode you need to tether the device to your PC by USB cable, right?
So what is keeping you from using NFS mount or SAMBA mount to access the device over USB?
Or if you just quickly need to transfer some files use sftp or scp...
All those protocols work both over WLAN and over USB networking

And added bonus with network file systems; with USB mass memory mode you only get access to the partition that is exported, with filesystem access you get all the data on the device to your sticky paws
And there's no need to umount the exported FS, which is a real pain...
