what i do on the laptop is make a "virtual access point" using a software called http://www.virtualwifirouter.com/
from there on connect to the wifi of the laptop and use any wifi transfer program.

HI Guys .
I am looking for an app for android that can transfer files between android phones using WiFi.
As at work we some times need to transfer large files between phones. Bluetooth is too slow and it is a pain connecting the phone to a PC uploading the file then downloading the file to new phone.
Any ideas on this would be great. As this would save masses of amounts of time. Also it would need to be a direct transfer between phones as we have no router to connect to at work.
Thanks in advance

File expert has the option to share a file via wifi when you long press on a file. I can't test this phone to phone as I only have one Android handset here at the moment. Give it a try.

you can use "Wi-fi Cast Lite" from lgworld or Try "IP Messenger" from Android Market.
or maybe use dropbox ?
This is the way i do it ...
Use wiFi File Transfer from the Market.

Well, I think the simple is better. So why don't use FTP? As its name says is a File Transfer Protocol
I do use FTPServer, then if you're in Windows, you can use "Filezilla" as client. Maybe, you could thinks is much _effort_. But it's worth it.

So far, the best and easiest app existing is fast file transfer -

you can use es file explorer. just make sure file sharing is set upp on the computer so that you an access it from the network, then connect to the same network and put the ip address of your computer in.
I have used WiFi File Explorer from Play store with decent success. Free version restricts number of simultaneous up/downloads. I still prefer to hook up phone, much faster speeds and bonus of charging at same time.
You can use Zumocast if you have XP or Motocast if you have Windows 7. Keep your computer running and that will give you access to your files from anywhere. Stream or download. For upload/downloading over wifi, you can use Motorola Phone Portal (uses Internet Explorer in Windows for file management). Zumocast and Motorola Phone Portal come pre-installed on the Atrix 2. Motocast is new. It's very much like Zumocast, Win 7 or Vista only. Hope that helps!

this is probably the easiest way.
You could possibly set up samba on the phone and then connect from the pc-> phone, but that's a lot more difficult.

DLNA standard does not allow file copy or write on either host or client . But if you just want to "stream" a file then it works perfectly.

I like airdroid too...very clean and user friendly intuitive interface but sometimes doesn't complete the transfer of really big files...
For alternatives: you can use smb, ftp servers like
1) ES file explorer:
--it has an ftp server.
--just start the server and type the ftp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.port number) into any browser or even windows' own file manager/explorer
--good thing about ES is that you can select only which folder you want to serve (best when you want to serve your files to other but don't want others to have access to your entire phone).
--you can all be connected to the same wifi network or you can use hotspot or access point mode on your android device. You're pc can connect straight to the phone.
2) File expert:
--my original favorit. just like ES but recently it's been asking for a ton of permissions...(could be due to all the added features...),..if you're ok with these...it's still one of the easier apps to use...just long press on a folder and select share via web or ftp and you're done...
3) Syncme:
---if you have an smb server on your pc, this is perfect. sync entire folders at once between your android device and your pc.
Hope these help
Is there any way to transfer files using the inbuilt wifi direct. Wifi direct in Xperia C shows the connect option but does not have the share option. While Googling I found it can be connected through Office suite. But its not always possible that the other device too has office suite installed. Please suggest me a way out ?

use superbeam or es file explorer
There are many applications that you can use to share files like
1) Flash Transfer
2) SuperBeam
3) Wi-Fi Shoot etc.
You can use these apps to transfer data using Wi-Fi Direct but whatever app you use should be installed on the device which is receiving and on the device sending files
