Cool! I first thought the install-over-serial meant they had found some kind of "exploit" of the AmigaOS, but it turned out you do have to run a command on the Amiga to copy incoming data into a file. Phew!
Also, this part:
Be sure you plug the cable into the Serial port on the Amiga, not the Parallel port! They look the same.
Was interesting, since it's clear from the picture (and "general knowledge") that a 25-pin serial port and a 25-pin parallel port do not look the same; the serial port is male on the computer, while the parallel port is female.
Thus, it's not possible to plug the cable, which was very well-specified in the article to have a female plug, into the parallel port.
