{REQ} File transfer via WiFi Android to Android

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 -

[Q] Device to device file share using WiFi

1. Is there any app which allows creating WiFi connection, So that we can connect other devices or Computer's to it, other than using WiFi hotspot option.
2. Is there any app which allows direct file sharing from one device to another without using existing WiFi connection (Created using wifi modem/computer), by creating its own WiFi.

I currently have Wifi File Transfer. Free App. you can check it out.
Without Wifi...not really sure...haven't seen any.

I use this https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5kb29ibG91LldpRmlGaWxlRXhwbG9yZXJQUk8iXQ..

you can transfer files via bluetooth(ics) without the need for a separate app.

I need speedy connection. And data transfer.
Bump allows file share in wifi, but it wont create wifi connection.
What I need is a tool to create adhoc wifi network. Or one which does both creating network and file sharing.

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

How to transfer and move data from Android to Computer?

Hello guys,
Is anyone facing the problem to move and transfer from Android phone to computer system? Does anyone solve this issue? I am also facing the same problem. I want to transfer large size files (movies) from my Android mobile to my laptop. Give me some solutions to move data between phone and laptop without USB cable.

Do it wirelessly by means of LAN drive.

Will it require internet? Is it safe app?
Edit: I don't think any free app are working. You may need to use USB cable to transfer data.

Can't you do that via USB cable in MTP mode? If no, try to ask for help from a third-party program. Usually, such tool can help us to access videos and other data on the Android phone and transfer them to the computer easily. My suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its backup function can help us do that easily and for free. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.

You need to load the Windows driver to do that.
Windows may already have a driver.
Example, if you have a Samsung installing SmartSwitch loads the driver. After the driver is loaded...
go to Disk Management, and scan for new devices. If the Android drive(s) are shown access them directly in this window. You can transfer files and folders.

It's an paid program. But I need a free program.

The backup function is free to use.

Upload the data to your Google Account to then use them on your computer.
Use a chat app that’s accessible on your computer to transfer file.
Or use some 3rd party tool, such as AirDroid,.MobiKin, Xender...

If MTP transfers (Typical USB transfers) are unstable, you can try using FTP over a local network (Your home WiFi router, USB tethering). This method is way more stable than MTP. Once configured, it can be easily used.
For security, use this guide only on home networks. Otherwise, take security precautions
Install an FTP app on phone - install Amaze File Viewer (free, lightweight, FTP available with a good file viewer)
Connect both mobile and PC into the same network. (For example, You can either follow step 2 or step 3. Otherwise, you can use any other method to connect these devices to a network such as wifi-direct)
Connect the phone to the PC using a USB
Connect phone and PC using a cable
Enable the "USB tethering" option in phone settings. (Usually faster)
Connect both phone and PC to the same router using WiFi or cables. (Fast with a good router and a good phone)
Connect the phone to the router
Connect the PC to that router
This method doesn't consume your internet quota even if your connection is limited.
Open FTP Server from your FTP app on your phone -
Open the Amaze app
Open the left pane by clicking the menu icon on the top left corner
Select "FTP Server"
Configure FTP server settings
Click the options icon on the top right of the FTP server page of the Amaze app
Disable secure connections, Read only access, etc...
Click logins and disable anonymous login
fill in some user detail (eg: username="abc", password="bcd")
Click start to start the FPS server.
It should display an URL address like "URL - ftp://192.168.42.129" and a port (such as port- 21).
The link should have "ftp" instead of "ftps"
Otherwise, disable the "secure connections" option in settings and restart the server (stop then start again).
View files from windows explorer
Open windows explorer
Type or paste the link you obtained in step 6 in the address bar
Windows explorer will then ask you for login details
Fill in the details you configured in step 5
If everything went fine, you will be able to browse your files using the familiar windows explorer view. It might take some time to load. You can copy, delete, rename or move files as you wish.
Make sure you recheck the login details and link every time you change the connection or settings. After changing any setting on the Amaze app, try stopping and starting the FTP server again. You can also change the "shared path" of your phone in the Amaze FTP server settings.
