Was just wondering if its possible to see the tablet via a wifi network and visa a versa for the tablet to see the pc? I have tried Astro with the SMB plugin but it just force closes on me when I go to network?

try SwiFTP app
I've been able to browse my server no problem, with both Es File Manager and upnplay
not been able to get anything working the other way.
On my android phone i've run an FTP server (called FTPServer) and then simply FTP into the device.
Or you might use Dropbox to sync folders?
can get the transformer seeing my windows shares using Ghost Commander and SMB addon.. unlike the astro one, it doesn't seem to FC.. hope this helps
How about using WebSharingLite app?

That looks like a very nice app, but I don't understand why do you need root to use it?

Probably because Google doesn't allow us access to needed routines - damn them.

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...

Thanks, but that applications does not seem to let me type an SMS using my computer keyboard (at least from the description)...
It does.
Try it, and uninstall it if I am lying. I've updated the link to the developer's website.

Mymobiler is a great app to access windows phone with computer, you can do all kinds of stuff there including download weather info by wifi from computer instead of GPRS.

I know that, but I don't want full control over the device, just being able to text...
If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?
I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.
Bump......
Try some remote contrl app so you can use any function of your phone on your computer...
But I'm not sure whether there is any working with wireless connection.

Download version 1.7 and you can send sms messages via your pc (hence you can use your pc keyboard).

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.
dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.
Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.
Hey
I want to use WiFi to transfer files from one Android phone to another Android phone. The only way to do this is thru a Adhoc connection (without a router). Is there a app that allows me to do this?
Thanks
I dont think so
Please add me on twitter. Just search for AndroidPhoneOS
Don't forget its Android, anything is possible, just need to find out a way.
Isn't bluetooth sufficient? Some apps allow you to view the other phone's files.
Enable wifi tethering on one phone and connect the other phone. Then use FTP or something to transfer files.
I don't have an extra phone to try this, but it should work.

A 100MB file took about 50 minutes. WiFi would have allowed it to go much faster.

No. Hoccer works like a cloud so you need a internet connection.
It works !!!
I'm using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" , "DroidFTP PRO" and "ANDFTP".
The transfer via adhoc works perfect !!!
You can try wifi cast! I search for it in the market but i cannot find it anymore! So i have oploaded it! Its the lite version so it should be no problem! @mods: otherwise please delete the link! THX!

I am using a program called ZAPYA from playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dewmobile.kuaiya). It is exactly what you want. You can transfer at lightning speed.. even full movies in few seconds without need for routers...Create a group from one mobile and Search & Join the group from other mobile/Tablet. It will do all other things for you. Very simple to connect and transfer files. We use this will all our devices.

Use WiFi-Direct or SuperBeam(2.3.3+).
By the way, I'm looking for a tool to send/receive file between two android devices over internet( not on a same network) in real time(without using wifi), just as yahoo messenger does. Any standalone app(P2P) ?
Ok I saw this option in the android system menu to turn on wifi direct, but I couldn't find anything further than that. How do I actually transfer files thorugh wifi direct??
Update:: MEthod for wifi file transfer from one phone to another.
Youu'll need ES file explorer on one phone and Swiftp on another
1. Toggle Wifi tethering on, on the device from which you will ransfer files.
2. Now connect the other device to this AP created by the tether.
3.Now on the same device(the one connected to the AP)start Esfile explorer and got to the ftp tab
4. Go to settings>scan. Es file explorer should now automatically find the other phone,
Just wanted to bump this thread....seems like no one's interested but I think wifi direct is awesome! and i know our phones are capable just that the right software is needed.

Many people are interested post have been viewed 212 times but no one is able to answer
well i got my mac address recognized in a sgsII, but nothing more than that :/
Not exactly what you want, but for transfering files by wifi i use the App SwiFTP. It's for free in the market (i can't post URL's cause i'm noob).
I hope this helps you ...
Air Droid is also amazing! It's free, and there is no windows installation required. You just run it on your phone. It gives you a web address and a password to enter on the website. Then you have access to your whole phone!

Yes to Airdroid. Best sharing program and with web interface.

original thread updated with sort of a solution..
Hey guys, Can anyone recommend me a good app to transfer stuff from my PC to my Note wirelessly?
Ive been using Air Droid, which is good but requires me to be at my computer which kinda defeats the purpose.
Sometimes with big files like ROMs I download them from my PC, but would like a quick way to transfer them to my phone without the USB lead.
I would like an app that allows me to just connect to my pc and allow me to browse all the files on my PC and select several at once to send them to my Note.
What apps can you recommend ? Preferably free.
Thanks
A-D
you can try webkey https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey
If you have a samba/cifs share on your computer you can use ES explorer

On your computer, make a share for each drive you want to access from your phone. Make sure you have a password on your windows account or it 'generally' doesn't work with Windows 7.
I even VPN to home from anywhere in the world and I can access all my files...free, all in house. For my VPN server I just use a WRT54G with DDWRT [old school].
File expert. Easy and great!

and then get andftp on your phone... simple and works.

Is there a simple way to share files via Wifi? In similar way to sharing through Bluetooth, or as similar as possible.
It's just that my device doesn't have bluetooth and I need the ability to share files swiftly with others.

works well if a bit slow.

That doesn't seem like what I'm looking for. I want a simple way to send files between two Android devices using Wifi, just like one would do using Bluetooth.
Perhaps add a "send via wifi" option.

I keep seeing "Web interface" in it. Does this require the other end to use a browser?
I think on Galaxy phones, when you click share, you'll see Bluetooth and Text messages and Email along with Share Via Wifi. Is there an app that does that?
