Yes you can. Use Total Commander.

Where can we get that? I try in the market and nothings come up.
Try Discover... it does exactly that using a web interface. Pretty cool. Although, I have problems with some programs not being able to find the mp3s and pictures I move over using it. YMMV

Has anyone ever used this. Found this in one of the other forums

Similar. Lets you push/pull/install apks, list directory contents, etc. On your computer instead of the phone.
it works
that program is totally responsible for turning me into a rom slut... it's awesome
It works if the you have the sdk installed. It works very well. I use it all of the time for moving files.
Hey guys, today's demo is of SwiFTP. Here's the description from my site
Tired of connecting your phone to your computer every time you need to transfer something. Looking to do some on-the-fly file management? Wanna be cool? Download SwiFTP. This handy little app will make your Android phone function as its own server, allowing YOU to connect and transfer files wirelessly (without USB, if you’re confused) to your Android phone or just manage your Android system. You have access to everything, too. Right down into the nitty gritty of the system. Did I mention its free? I don’t think you have a choice but to NOT download it.
SwiFTP Video App Demo/Review
O thats awesome. Now I just need some sort of window I can leave on my 2nd monitor and just drag files to it, and have it automatically connect and throw it into a folder. HMMmMmm. Any devs have ability to code something like that?
I'm definitely going to test this out. Great find and recommendation!

Well if you setup your computer as a server, you can use ES File Explorer or AndFTP to connect to your computer
Nice work!

Has anyone tried to set up SwiFTP and connected to it using AndFTP from another phone with success? Me and a friend of mine have been trying it but keep getting an 530 invalid credentials error on AndFTP
I dont use SwiFTP but, download FTPServer in the market and put FileZilla on your computer. Couldn't be easier.
I've always installed an ssh server on all my devices, iphone, ipad and androids. I just activate the server and then use Winscp or I just mount it in Linux.
My friends and myself with Evos use the bluetooth transfer with laptops and between evos. It is not as fast but works pretty well.
I've always just used dropbox for android
What's the range?
I have searched a lot but i am still having this probelm...
is it possible to view shared pictures on PC using PPC over Wifi...
1) I tried to connect using default browser but no connection..
2) Resco explorer sees my computer on network but is un able to connect..
3) Total commander connects to share folder and i can see all the files but it gives an error "Pictures and Videos"...Cannot Load File....
Since i dont want to copy the files on PPC... Is there any possibility to view pictures using shared connectivity.... i managed to view 3gp file thought using total commander...
Regards
Since you're talking about Total Commander I'm assuming you're using a WM phone?
Are the pictures you're trying to see .jpg?
You could always try via remote desktop, definitely should be able to see everything
Yes you guessed right it is WM device HTC Touch Pro....
And is the best remote desktop which support windows 7 and one more thing i would like to use it over wifi not internet.. Like Team Viewer....
Hi all,
Just bought a Xoom tablet.
I'm trying to get my laptop to have its files shared from it to the tablet... But haven't had any luck, either the laptop has its limitations or its the tablet itself.
I'm on Vista.
I know theres Apps you can download to share files, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it directly?
Apart from using wires of course....
Any ideas?
Share a folder in Windows and use ES File Explorer to browse the network. This works for me.

Astro with samba module, you can view all your files on your pc
Hi everyone,
Still don't have any luck....
Downloaded ES FileExplorer but I'm not sure what to put in the username and password field...
Plus I'm not sure if the files are being shared on vista or not, its acting very cumbersome >_<

Search on google how to setup network share in vista, I'm sure you will find a how to. I don't have Vista to give you a step by step how to.
If you decide to go the app route, Pogoplug has a new software that you can install on your PC for free (as in, it's not a physical device like their original product), and you can access it anywhere with a web browser, or through the (free) app on your Xoom.

Anyone know of a good remote file transfer app? I have logmein and whatnot, but i'd rather have the option of just dragging and dropping or copy/pasting files from my home pc to my phone without having to use a remote view.

Is this app any different than using Filezilla or Andftp?

I concur. Pretty much the only use my cable gets is to charge my phone thanks to this
My favorite method is using the PirateBox method as posted here.
NOTE* I am not rooted so there will be know adhoc but once you start it on the phone it gives you an ipaddress:8080 to go to. do that on you computer and youll be golden
For me, I wanted to not only transfer files remotely, but also 'sync' automatically and found this program: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.pcfilesync. I'm using an SMB profile that automatically sync's my shared directory '\users\mywindowsprofile\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Podcasts' every 3600 seconds (1hr). Works well since when I delete the Podcast in iTunes, that deletion is replicated to my Android's '/sdcard/Music/Podcasts' folder. I really like this set and ignore automation.
Thanks for the feedback so far everyone. I found:

Which seems to do justice.
I have dropbox, but i guess i should have explained better. I wanted remote access to all drives / files on my computer at any given point, without a full desktop display.
nice app you found , personally i dont like dropbox myself
does it have to be remote remote or are you just trying to find a way to transfer files without plugging a cable in.
SMB filesharing in the Play shop
with one click the whole of your sd is available on your pc as a shared network drive, and it doesnt dismount the sd card on your phone while its on.
