Hey,
I've done some searching, and a fair amount of lurking on this forum. But i couldn't find any app that lets me connect to a ftp server to upload pictures etc.
My phone is rooted, with market access. So I can buy the app if it's worth it.
Thanks in advance.

topic should be FTP

You can use ES file explorer to access FTP servers and even access shared files on other LAN computers on your network since it supports Samba.
It's also a regular file explorer, but probably the best there is
To send a file you just copy it from the phone or a LAN computer and paste it on the ftp.
ES is also great to copy files to your phone through WiFi
Cool, thanks. Will try it out.

Hi
I was wondering if its possible to map your phone as a network drive, i know you can do this vice versa with ES File manager but i was wondering if you could access your phone over a local network?
bump bump bump
Im not exactly sure what your after but is the 'websharing' app of any use?

thanks! that seems like what i wanted more or less, although it looks like you cant actually map it as a network drive, I just wanted a way to access the phones memory over wifi using windows explorer.
wifi file explorer may do the trick...
Ive tried wifi file explorer.. works wel! Im sure websharing is a slight step up with additional features and you can view using explorer window..?

I saw that this was an old post but I though i would answer anyway if you havn't found what you were looking for ^_^
Samba Filesharing adds your sdcard as a removeable drive in "Computer"
use "File Expert"
its free and have all the features, you are looking for ..
Samba Filesharing
As said earlier: You should look for Samba Filesharing (i found it somewehere on XDA, but not in X10 subforums). It does exactly what you're asking.
I'm using it alot. When at home, i simply enable wifi, which triggers Sambafilesharing to be enabled as well. Then, from PC i have a mapped networkdrive to \\android\sdcard.
On X10 the user and password can be changed.
It takes the IP adres from Wifi, if you map a network drive, then you may want to use static ip.
[Edit]
fileExpert is the other way round. You can acces samba shares with your phone. But TS wants to access phone as a drive.
That's it. Real handy. Good luck!
i found a new app on the market to save your apps.
it`s called "appsaver" which saved the apk`s on the
internal sd-card. you are able do bring them to the
external sd-card with copy and paste. it`s really easy.
the app is for free!
Everyone here already knows that app. What a empty post!

Not quite!
I am using Titanium Backup for this purpose and never knew something like this existed for free. Sure, my use of TB is far more complex than just extracting APKs so I won't repalce it, but I will recommend this app to some friends that wouldn't buy TB just to save apps.
Thanks michadreyer!
Im using supermanager for this. Also saves apk's

Thanks, I was looking for this!
I've used ASTRO before I encountered File Expert...
Both also does save APKs...
ES File Explorer is free and can do this too, along with a host of other features.
Simple question: since I have my wifi coming from my PC, can I somehow file share from phone to PC? Linda manager has a Network option, so I think this is possible.
Thanks.

Use Software data cable on the android market......it does just want u want to do....
I see samba and that's well and good to go from PC to phone, but I was interested in pulling up PC network from my phone. I haven't seen that option with any of these programs.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I haven't tried it, but ES file explorer has a network option as well. You'd likely have to know how to set up your computer so that it can "talk" to other computers, in this case your phone, on the network. It's not hard, and I think you could use windows network setup wizard to get you rolling. I'm a little rusty in that area unfortunately, of you don't use it you loose it.

Is that phone to PC? NOT PC to phone
My bottom line is that I want the option to access my computer from my phone.

So what exactly are you looking to access on your PC? If you want to access storage then there is sure to be an app that does that, which is what I would think ES can do, it looks like you have multiple settings for type, even looks like maybe an ad-hoc mode as well. Otherwise, if you're looking to control the PC, I think Team Viewer can do it, I never got around to setting it up PC to PC though but I would think it would work with the app.
I'm using a small FTP server on the phone. It's called SwiFTP. Does an amazing job.
I don't really have a specific purpose, I just want to know if the functionality exists. There has been times I download torrents with my phone, then I have to go plug in and transfer. I'd rather transfer wireless since I'm already using wifi from the PC.
Yea, I'm being lazy, but still.

have you tried teamview? it is basically a remote desktop connection on your phone.
But will that allow him to transfer files to his phone via the app?
WiFi file explorer...awesome app hands down love it

Also AirDroid in the Market will transfer via WiFi from phone to PC and PC to phone using your web browser on your PC.
I have File Expert, works great with PC to phone via FTP. But the program has to function to go from phone to PC.
Sure, sitting on my computer I can swap files back and forth. But on the phone all I can do with the program is turn on the file sharing, can't actually do the swapping from phone.

I use ES File Explorer. From my phone I can browse shared files on my PC. I can also copy files from my PC to my phone. Files can be shared via WiFi or Bluetooth.

So far it looks like ES does what's needed, since you made three.
Hi
Yesterday I have come across a beautiful app called SperBeam which is used for file sharing between android apps.
I am able to transfer 1GB data(videos and photos) from my samsung galaxy s3 to asus transformer infinity tablet in 6 minutes. Thats awsome.
This software uses wifi if it is available, or else wifidirect technology.

no results on google play for "sperbeam"
sounds interesting though...
edit: its "superbeam"
Thank you
Great find. Thanks for the share.

Wow, really like this app. Thanks for sharing!:good:
ES file Explorer is a also good option to tranfer files between android devices... and between android and pc? Any one have a good app ? Something that works like es file explorer would be amazing.

Why not simply use your PC's file manager via MTP?
What do you mean by that? Use the usb cable?
I still feel all these P2P file sharing apps are clunky and not consumer-friendly. That said, I'm going to fix that...I'm building an app called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. It is going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

Thanks Whatisreal. I just signed up. There are tons of file sharing apps in the app store, but they all look like they were made by engineers who know how the inner plumbing of your phone works, and they expect you to know too. I'm a casual user, and I'm looking for something that works for "everyone", not just the propeller heads! Kind of like Apple's approach (putting flame suit on..)
Sorry for bumping this old thread. But I am using esfile explorer to transfer files between pc and my phone/tablet using wifi. They are connected to the same wifi. But though I am able to transfer between tablet and pc or phone and pc. I am unable to do the same between phone and tablet. Of course I can install this superbeam for the same but I just wanted to know if it is possible by using esfile explorer. Also can I transfer files using wifi direct(ie without using the common wifi modem) using esfile explorer?

I use wifi file transfer - ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antosdr.wififiletransfer&hl=en
ES File Explorer uses this as a plugin so I can select multiple files or folders then take the option in ES to "share" and then share via wifi file transfer, you just need to have the app installed on both devices and make sure the receiving device has wifi file trasnfer running and recady to receive
The other option I use for files that arent huge is dropbox and gogole drive - again ES File Explorer can plug into those for easy upload and download
Actually ES File Explorer has the ability in itself to create a wifi file sharing hotspot. I just couldn't find it before. Now after some tries I finally got it to work. It doesnt require an external wifi(modem). ES file itself creates a wifi server (similar to bluetooth) to which other devices can connect and share files.
I've found an app called shoutr, that's available in the Google Play Store and at shoutr.net, that lets you share between devices without even having to have internet or WiFi access, pretty convenient!
I use PushBullet to move files through wifi when i'm at home but It seems to limit at 25MB. Is there a similar method or something not much more difficult method to send larger files?

I usually use Airdroid. There's no file size limit if your devices are on the same network. It also supports remote connections, but there are limits there.
I use solid explorer but any files manager that supports samba shares (es, astro etc)

ES File Explorer also works well and is completely free.

I have always used AirDroid and never had a problem both in the application or size restrictions. I've moved 200+MB files before without any issue. Best part is that sometimes it is even faster to use then USB and we all know how fast USB moves in Windows.
Es works fine, I dropped airdroid for droidoverwifi
