Wifi File Explorer Help - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, when I was at university I used Wifi File Explorer Pro to transfer files from my transformer to pc but now I'm home for the summer I cannot get it to work.
When I go to the ip address it provides my browser can't connect to it. I'm using Firefox on ubuntu 11.04 (The same as i've always used)
Anyone got any ideas how to fix the problem? Do i need to port forward anything?
Thanks

I am having the same problem here with all kinds of wifi file managers that try to access the phone via browser :/
Strangely, I can access my PC using the ES explorer, but not the other way
Could you solve this problem?

Use your Wireless LAN program under Settings\Connections\
I have, but no computers been detected....
try typing
\\<Insert the computer name you want to connect to>\<the share which have been set to be shared to the pda>
?
you know like
\\Kitchen Computer\mp3
or

Networking the Transformer?

Hi, noob here. Is there a way to network the tablet to your home pc and vise versa like a laptop can? I tried the remote whatever thing the Tablet comes with and its accessing my disk drives on my desktop.

i wont provide the sarcastic answer like the previous poster
try
File Manager HD
ES File Explorer
.... and numerous others .....
not sure about accessing your tablet wirelessly from your PC tho ....
I use ES File Explorer. As long as you have a properly shared location on your network you'll be able to get access to it from the Transformer.
If you want to access your Transformer from a computer use Websharing. I like it, it has a built it photo viewer and music player in the pro version. There are a couple of other alternatives too.

[Q] Explorer crash upon file transfer

This is such a weird problem and it's only just come up now.
When I try to transfer movies or shows to my TF I get a pop up saying Windows Explorer has stopped working.
Has anyone else had to problem.... I really don't want to reinstall everything
In my experience, Windows Explorer crashes a lot, especially for older versions of Microsoft Windows. If you're mounted via USB/ASUS Sync, no, it's not supposed to do that. You may want to try SMB/CIFS via Samba File Sharing or SCP as a work around.

File sharing between android devices

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
no results on google play for "sperbeam"
sounds interesting though...
edit: its "superbeam"
Thank you
Great find. Thanks for the share.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam
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!

Can't Connect To Windows 10 PC via LAN in ES File Explorer

Hey everybody.
So, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 with 4.4.4 Kitkat on it. I have the latest version of ES File Explorer downloaded.
So, I did some searching around on Google and found a post on how to connect ES to Windows 10. I followed all the steps. I shared my connection. I know my IPv4 address for my desktop PC. But when I scan in ES, it doesn't find it.
I also tried manually entering in the credentials. Still nothing. In fact, when manually entering them, ES says it can't find the server.
The desktop and phone are on the same network; my desktop is hard wired to my modem via ethernet. Would that make a difference?
I'd appreciate any help you could give me, since using Wifi is a lot faster and more productive than Bluetooth.
