Setup a dropbox account. Install it on the pc and the app on the phone. The pc will always stay synched and you can get to your files from anywhere.
There are many options to do what I think it is you want. You could set up an SSH server on your system, create a rule through your router/firewall and if you don't have a static IP use something like OpenDNS; then use a VPN client to connect (VPNRoot in Play Store works).
You could also use DropBox, Box.net, SkyDrive, Google Drive or any other 'cloud' sync service for specific files too.
Or more simply you can use something like LogMeIn or TeamViewer. Both are dead simple and if you really do need access to your system while your away (or do remote tech support) these are well worth the price(s).
Are you looking for something like Samba for android?
Not sure if you are looking for something that will allow you to do this when you aren't near your PC, or if you are looking at something so you don' have to hook up your phone to your computer.

It allows you to copy files to and from your phone via Wi-Fi... maybe you just didn't rtfm. Also wireless adb will too
Edit: maybe I don't know what you want.. Webkey answers question in the subject but the post is not really in English..

hey i was wondering if anyone here has come across a app that will allow me to browse the files on my phone and drag and drop files from my computer on to my phone with out having to connect a usb to the computer, pretty much to sync wirelessly but to whatever specific folder i want on my phone . was playing around with Browsix which from what iv read should have that feature but i either havent been able to find out how it works or maybe it dosent have it at all.
Try the built in Samsung Kies Wireless app on your phone. It works quite well over the local wifi network.

Kies air. It's in your app drawer. I believe that's what you're looking for. Let's you navigate through everything on your phone wirelessly.

yea i just set it up and essentially thats what im looking for. but for example i have a folder with icons i wanna drop onto my phone. i have a folder for icons but i cant just drag that folder on to my phone through the kies browser and expect it to show up on my phone? when i click upload it only gives me the option to upload individual files not a whole folder. unless im not clicking the right option.
Try airdroid its a very nice app.

spot on man. i like how it gives you a desktop like window to play with. even lets you create folders on your phone and just import the files over. very very nice.
No problem bro, I love that app.

I just installed AirDroid, based on the recommendations, and partly because it uses port 8888 instead of 2121 that I'm using for another app.
One problem I'm seeing is that it doesn't load my Contacts. I get a yellow triangle and the message, "Failed with network error." This is on a Sprint E4GT running Calkulin's 2.7 if that matters.
I have used myphone explorer! It works great. I believe you can copy n sync files and folders from your pc to your phone. you can send sms through your phone from your pc keyboard. I was really impressed with it and it's almost a 5 star free program at the market.

You need to download Android File Transfer.

Here is exactly what you need! all you need to do is download it, plug your phone in, and run it!

Note that it may not read the phone if the lock screen is up. Can be a pain if you're in a rush.

Yup. Random freezing, disconnecting, etc. Also takes forever to open a folder.

has anyone found a way around using this horrible program
i like airdroid (find it on google play) it connects to the same wifi as your pc or you connect to the mobile hotspot and you open http://ipaddressofthephone:8888 and theres a website where you can push and pull files and other cool things.

Many file explorers have WiFi transfer capabilities to/from your PC.
I have tried android file transfer but not successful.

Who has a working method? I mean they can't make this so hard putting music on a phone from a macbook....
There's been other posts about this I'm pretty sure, did you search to find similar threads? Search the other lte variants forums as well.

I do it manually. Pop my micro sd card into the usb slot on my macbook and use finder to copy files over. I'm using neutron music player so it handles my mp3 and m4a/alac lossless files with no problem.
There's a couple apps that try to automate this but my collection doesn't change a lot so I found this approach easier.

Oh, and if you want to use the built-in storage on the device, the android file transfer app for mac works and is fast - even faster than copying to my sd card.

The issue I have is when I am copying files over, it says screen is locked but its not and then transfer stops through android file transfer..i could put the micro sd in a sd card in the card reader...
I searched but couldn't find anything...could anyone post those links?
Samsung Kies?
Andriid file transfer doesnt even work for me. Wont read that the phone is even plugged in.

I have tried that but it still gives me the same message. If I use the UMS app I can get access to external without android file transfer but not internal. I really would like access as my backup from my old phone are all on my mac

I use TuneSync. It will allow wired or wireless syncing of music from iTunes to your android device. Fairly simple to set up.
Here is the Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5oaWdod2luZHNvZnR3YXJlLnR1bmVzeW5jIl0.
Easy phone tunes is the best one I used so far. I haven't upgraded to mountain lion so not sure if it compatible. However the only annoying thing is that you can only sync everything or 1 playlist. But it's super fast so I guess that makes up for the lack of functions.

Just downloaded this. Well worth the few bucks, IMO.
Thanks for the link.
Hey thanks to all reading this. I have a problem extracting data from an old phone, sorry if this is in wrong section I'm using an s3 so came here. Situation is had s2 and dropped in water. Phone works but screen doesn't. I think it works in some spots but not enough for me to get the SD to work. When its plugged in I see the drive disappear instantly so can't get file. The file I need is a PDF I downloaded months back. It saved to my phones drive. Im not having much luck with adb and not sure I even know where to look for the PDF. I was able to view it using adobe reader. I have a nandroid but dunno where to look for his PDF. I am on a twrp recovery so kinda screw ed there and screen cast a no go. Anyone know where to look in nandroid browser for a PDF downloaded to phone mem? Any ideas are appreciated thx so much

You could try airdroid, connect to your phone wirelessly from your pc and browse files on it, then just download from phone to pcs
Wait a minute, sorry, you said you cant see the screen very much so how you gonna be able to down load an app ... duh my bad.

Does adb recognize the device? If so its just a matter of reading through adb for dummies (will try and find a link) to get the right command.
Or pm EarlyMon. I bet he knows the cmd

I havent tried adb too much I'm not sure if its picking it up or not, I have all the latest components but might need older ones. When I do try adb it dosent detect anything so far. Not even the s3 so not ruling it out yet. I'm so desperate I'm thinking about restoring the nandroid to s3 and see what happens. The file I need is my medical license without it I'm f'd. Its a hassle to get a new one, so much so I'm going thru this headache. About to chuck this thing
