Assuming you have sorted that out it's pretty simple. You connect your computer to the cRio with a crossover cable, and then in Netbeans hit "Run". The actual routines to copy it over to the bot are handled by Netbeans.

It should be noted that while many of the instructional documents that FIRST provides say that the user should use a crossover cable, it is only necessary between the camera and the cRIO. The bridge, classmate, and most other modern devices (computers, routers, etc.) have auto switching ports that will make a non crossover cable into a crossover if needed. This makes it a lot easier to acquire cables since crossovers are hard to find.
