Software IFILE to blackstone

Hi guy’s
I wondering if some one of you know about a program called "ifile" or something like that
I don’t need to say the name of the phone where roun this software but is not from Microsoft (clear enough right?)
So, I would like to know if there exists the same program for HTC HD or something like it.
I talking about a program that makes possible to transfer files from the pc to the Blackstone BY WLAN and so on so far.
I mean that you just need to write the IP address in your pc at the explorer and that’s it
Thank very much

every addon file explorer like total commander (free) and resco explorer (commercial) have builtin lan support
it works much like windows' "map network drive" function and is very good, i myself i use it alot
you can even use, instead of ip addresses, the network names of the computers or browse through the whole network.
i MIGHT be wrong but it seems to me that even the default winmo file explorer can do such thing provided you install file explorer extensions (search on this forum you will eventually find them out and read about those)

some ideas
Hi. There are some options i can think of from the top of my head.
1
share a folder on your pc, access it from your device with your favorite browser (Total Commander).
2
read in about getting activesync going over wlan
3
mail stuff to your self and check it on your other device
4
try to find a web or ftp server for ppc
5
there might be some remote control software (you know, to control your ppc from pc, or take screensnaps etc) that is able to transfer files. I know there is a lot of remote progs available.
6
There is software available to browse ms networks from ppc, maybe there is some that puts your pcc right in there.
I´ll add more if I think of any.
Use Google.

Just found out that I can access my wifi laptops using ES File Explorer app

The app ES File Explorer allows me to access my Laptop/Desktop PC files via wifi. All I had to do was run ES File Explorer, menu-show Tabs, select LAN, select New, scan, and pick my wifi PCs, which are already setup to share files. A quick entry of username and password, and I have full access to my PC files.
I have been wanting to do this for some time, and had searched for adhoc, wifi, wifi direct, etc. But hadn't found the solution. So this post is to aid those like me who want to access their PC files but weren't aware that it was possible.
Personally, I think the OS should be providing this functionality. To be honest, it's hardly new technology to connect wifi to wifi (adhoc has been around for about a decade).
The ES File Explorer solution is sufficient, but it works by downloading the entire file, rather than permitting streaming. I would rather have a streaming-capable solution, so that I can watch films that are on my PC hard drive.
So my final part of this thread is a question. Has anyone found anything superior to ES File Explorer for accessing PC files over wifi?

This feature has been available for a long time. There are other file managers that allow this as well.

File Expert has built in Windows/Samba sharing as well as allowing you to access your phone via FTP. Pretty handy app.

You can access Dropbox and Sugarsync as well, just swipe left or right to change the different connections and copy files easily from one to another. Beats the default Dropbox app hands down IMHO.

Thanks, I have downloaded file expert as well, and will consider using es file manager to manage dropbox. This is my first Android phone so for me all features are new.

For those with unlimited data, i use TONIDO

It uses wifi OR data. I can access ALL and I mean ALL files on my computer including windows folder etc....
Free app by the way, just need to download tonido app for computer , i set it up months ago, but it was super easy, and doesnt require to ever login again unless you decide to protect it.

You're confusing technologies. This isn't ad-hoc networking, it's just using a file browser that can read samba shares. I use ES in conjunction with MX Video Player and Dice Player for what you want to do. MX seems to stream best if you select software decoding.

Check out splash top for streaming

Thank you for this awesome tip of using ES with MX to stream video.
Ill check out that last recommendation another time, as I now happily accessing my PC files.
Makes me wonder why people still use the USB cable aside from charging...

Not sure if this is what you guys want, but there are several apps for streaming stuff on your phone (from a PC or Mac). Just go on the market and search for "DLNA" or "UPNP".

Check Tonido (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tonido.android&hl=en). You can access the data using Wi-Fi as well 3G.

[Q] Transferring Large Files Between Phones??

Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!

You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.

Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Yeah, I know the old school way. I'm just looking for a way to do it wireless.

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???

You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.

[Q] Best Apps for transferring files over WiFi?

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.

AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

PushBullet!:good: It's simple. Download the app to your phone and the Chrome extension, log in to both and voila "push" files with one click!

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en

I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC

Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

ES File Explorer which is very easy to setup, especially using this guide

Solid Explorer has a nifty FTP share feature... I used it because for what ever reason I couldn't mount my One via USB. Airdroid works well too.

Whoa! Didn't expect to get a lot of replies, thanks you guys!

Been using Wifi File Explorer Pro for about 5 years now without a single problem. I can highly recommend it
Swiftkeyed from my Renovated HTC One

Why install extra app
ES Explorer do all jobs
Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
Phone to phone file transfer same way & 1 more short way
SuperBeam is Also for both PC & Phone

Zapya has a perfect interface and possibilty to connect to iphone and PC by wifi direct. Approximately 3MB per second

FTP file transfer from computer to phone

Hello, I have S9+ but I think the S9 forum is more active (i think they should be merged) so I'm asking here. I need something that helps me transfer any file from my Mac to my phone, wirelessly, preferably over a communication protocol supported by Mac's native Finder. So I installed some FTP server app into my phone and press cmd+K on mac to connect to the phone, successful. But I can only READ files from phone to Mac, not the other way. I need it to work both ways. What do you use for this?

No idea if Mac supports it, but Total Commander uses SMB2 and can send/receive via Shared folders on PC at a good speed
Used to use FTP Server on Android and FileZilla Client on PC for FTP transfers too

have you tried this tool? allows you to send files via wifi, obviously, it's multiplatform

I use SSHDroid PRO
Not sure if mac can talk SFTP?

Thanks for the tip with Snapdrop. Looks good for occasional use (which is my case). I also found there are ftp plugins for total commander so I may try some time.
