I believe Es File Explorer app does this as well. I however want to connect android to android on LAN wifi but haven't found any app to do this
I could be wrong, but I don't think ES Exp allows you to browse your GTab from a PC. Haven't tried to android to android though.
I use Wireless File Transfer from the market. Works great. From pc to phone and vice versa.
Works great thanks for [email protected]
Works great, free, easy set up, password protection, and auto enable.
Back ups are a snap now.
Thanks!!!
Bluetooth File Share is similar and my personal favorite because it can package apps into apk's and send them via BT android to android.

Is their a way to grab files from your computer on your phone wirelessly?
I would also be interested in a solution for this on a linux machine.
Vincent.apk available in market lets you wirelessly sync to a samba share. Since it is samba, no third party server is needed. Just share the folder in windows or create samba share in linux.
also ES File explorer lets you browse shares in your network. good for getting single files.
Try this app

works brilliantly.. A must buy
DLNA will only allow me to stream video/music, and what if I want to transfer all types of files?...
Thanks in advance.
Astro file manager + SMB extension (which is free)
You can find both in the market.
With the SMB extension you can access fileshares on your windows pc.
Hi,
You can use also ESFile Explorer to do that
i use ftp... look into andro ftp works great

use this "Android Manager via WiFi"

it's easy and intuitive to use, nothing to mess around
works waaaaaaay better than KIES
Thanks a lot, guys! great stuff!
I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.
I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

ToneyEricsson , I cant Estrongs File Manager wifi file manager to work. Does it workn with Windows 7 (just had a new clean install)?
Or perhaps I have some settings not right?
Could you post how you got connected with this program?
Cheers!

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free
Dropbox!
i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.
Websharing is the one for me
LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done
I have VNC as well as Teamviewer Clients running on SD Froyo with no problems. Does anyone know of a working Server?
Would very much like to control and view the NC from my pc.
BTW... there is a so called "droid vnc server" which does not work.
Remote access
There are a few ways you can go: (Sorry I don't have the links but a search should provide them)
Samba server - do a search here on the forums (free)
File Expert - has a built-in HTTP server (Market - free)
WiFi File Explorer Pro (Market - paid)
Thanks... but what I am looking for is a "Remote Control" Server .
Like VNC, where I can view and control the NOOK or any android device from a windows or Linux VNC viewer
Gotcha
Gotcha - my misunderstanding...
I have that for my iPhone - it would be cool to have control of the interface.
WEBKEY
I have not confirmed this works on NC yet but I use WEBKEY everyday on my epic while at work. It works like a charm, I leave the phone in the other room and control the audio and sms via the network. works over the internet as well as local network.
basically i want to browse my sdcard internal folder using my windows 8 pc using SMB networking shares
it might be a lollipop issue?
i have samba file sharing working perfectly using nexus 7 fhd on android 4..3
has anyone gotten this to work? i can't seem to get it working, my PC can see the network share of the nexus6 but it won't allow me to view into the folders
i tried SAMBA file sharing and servers ultimate pro apps

Hmmm. From KitKat onwards, only the app that is used for mounting can see the contents. Not sure you'll get this working without a dirty-hijack of debuggerd - which you'll need to be pretty good at bash shell scripting to do.

This works on mine OK using the SMB app you linked to. I had to fool around with user id, password, and workgroup name in the app settings to make it work.
