[Q] Wifi File Sharing - LG Optimus Black

Hey guys,
My phone and PC are connected to the same wifi router and I want an app to explore shared files on my PC.
I've already tried ES File Explorer, ASTRO and File Expert and they don't seem to be able to connect to the computer.
Is there another app to do so, or do I need special configuration my my Windows 7?
*Using a laptop I could connect to my PC entering username and password without any problem.

+1 I would like to know myself.

well...I use es file explorer, and I can explore shared file/folder on my laptop
does the es file explorer find your PC when you scan?

This app is also for browsing SD files on PC, that's not what I'm looking for

I recommend SwiFTP. U can find it on Market.
One click, and you can share files between pc and phone.

Mini squadron XML hack

Does anyone know how to alter the planebank.XML file so you can alter plane powers etc I can get to it with astro but it wont let me save my alterations?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You can use estrongs file manager for that, be sure you enable root explorer and mount the system partition in the settings menu of the app,
Be sure to make a nandroid backup or something before messing with system files.
Edit: ih that file isnt in the system partition. I guess estrongs will still do the job but you then dont need to mount the system partition

Thanks for your reply but estrong does not read the particular asec file only astro does? But wont save what I alter?

Transfer FOLDERs via WiFI

Do you know any program that can do this? I've tried WiFi File Explorer PRO and Wifi Transfer but they only let me send files individually, but I need something that would work as if my nexus s was connected via USB. Do you know something like that?

Try ES File Explorer.
I use SwiFTP on the phone combined with Filezilla on computer myself.
Do you use dropbox? If its your computer you're transferring to.. most of the time I use that instead of USB. Unless its a ROM.

ESFile explorer can see shares in your LAN and has multiple select, and root. It will batch your copies as well. I transfer all my music to my phone with ES. Faster than usb.
If you need transfer outside your network then Drop box is your choice.

I've downloaded ES but i don't know how to transfer
Click on the LAN tab and then on your network share.
Then long press on the files you want to transfer and select "copy to"

I don't know how to connect with my pc, faqs on the site are offline
I did it with "WebSharing", very good program. It can mount nexus s like it was usb-plugged
No one is reading the title of the post. The OP wants to transfer FOLDERS with files inside, rather than having to rebuild file structure in the device and upload all files individually. I am looking for the same thing and I've downloaded 5 programs from this post and all of them do exactly the same thing, they upload files but not folders.
Does anyone have a solution that actually does what the OP is asking?

FTP server + client will enable you to drag and drop whole folders and it will rebuild the structure automatically. Just like copying and pasting would do.

it could be a problem with your windows explorer. which windows version do you use ?
Windows 7
But it's strange that only video files don't copy
I even tried to change the file type from mkv to mp3 (and the file was copied)
But when I changed it back on the device to mkv the video file was working but without sound!

[Q] HELP! I can't transfer files from pc to device!

Hello! Not too long ago I decided to join the XDA family. I love this community. People are always helping others. Which brings me to my main point.
I've been trying to copy and paste/drag and drop .irs files into my phone. Specifically /sdcard/ViPER4Android/Kernel. But when I do that on my device with ES File Explorer, it gives me an error saying "open failed: EACCES (permission denied)" I said well okay maybe something is wrong with the file. I re-downloaded the .irs file about 3 times just to get the same error. Then I decided to try it on my computer.
When I drag and drop OR copy and paste I get an error saying, "the device has either stopped responding or is disconnected" I don't know what to do anymore. I've rebooted my device and computer countless of times, tried different usb ports, and i've tried different usb cables.
Any suggestions for this problem? Thanks.
Are you trying to download to your phone using ES file explorer or move it to another folder using ES file explorer? Try using internet browser to download. Files don't seem to move well with ES file explorer either. Not for me anyways. I usually download to phone, then upload to dropbox but through dropbox and not ES file explorer. Then use dropbox to place it into the folder I want it in.

It is a bug that they fixed in 5.1. The folder is invisible, but it is there.
In es file explorer open the menu, add a favorite for the path write /storage/Android/obb
And for the name whatever you want. Then you can see the folder.
Or if you upgrade to 5.1 it will be visible from es file explorer already.

Yes, but i have had the folder before on another version of kitkat, and i really don't wanna update cuz lollipop is kinda slow compared to kitkat. And es doesn't let me copy anything to the folder

It 's not a kitkat bug which is why it does not affect other phones. It only affects moto x gen 2, and only on versions before 5.1.
