If you are using the classic Air Sharing, you'll need to use Wi-Fi, either by connecting the computer and the iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network, or by creating an ad hoc network from your computer and connecting the iPhone to that. If you are on Air Sharing Pro, an alternative method is to copy files from your computer to an iDisk or other WebDAV server, and then connect Air Sharing Pro to that server, which does not require Wi-Fi (as it works over a cell network like Edge or 3G as well).
