So, i want to transfer files from my pc to the phone using phone as file explorer of the PC. I've seen tons of apps which will allow me to transfer files via wifi but using COMPUTER to send files, not android. I've thought about setting up ftp server on my pc BUT it would use the connection speed of my current internet provider, not the wifi connection directly from the phone to the PC. Does such app even exist?

Is there any way I can transfer a file from my desire on froyo to my netbook, without usb cable or wireless router? I was thinking maybe it could be done through hotspot somehow.
What about Dropbox?
But the file is over 100mb. So yes I could upload it to dropbox and then tether my laptop and download it. But it would be a painfully long task. What's adhoc? Is that what I need? Can that be done on the desire?
doesn't your netbook have a card reader? or you can use Bluetooth but it's drain your battery really really quickly.
Try the free app called connectify (be sure to get the latest version) . It will make your notebook as a hotspot and you can connect to it va wifi from your phone. Then you can use one of the numerous wifi file transfer programs to transfer files.
Connect with wireless tether.
Install adb over wifi on phone.
adb connect 192.168.43.1
adb pull /sdcard/file.xxx
Or
Connect with wireless tether
Use filemanager on phone to browse to windows share, then copy from phone.
Or
Create a samba share on your phone and browse to it from PC.
I've not tried filesharing over hotspot on windows but I don't see why it wont work as long as you add it as a trusted network and have sharing on.
I don't know how to transfer a file over WiFi.

How to setup a computer to work with that app?
I'm very basic about WiFi things.
Help me.
Install the app on your phone, when you open it, it will set itself up and give you an HTTP:// address to put in your browser. Then you have access to your SD card through your web browser

+1 on that app. Using it, too. Easy as can be.
Please Explain More.
It does not setup itself.
Connect to your wifi network. Run app. In your browser type the adress given by the app. done.
How to setup a WiFI Network on my computer?
I'm using XP.
Google.
2. You do not connect directly to your PC, the app uses a WiFI AP (your router).
So PC & phone connected to the router, and it's done.
Also make sure your phone is connected to your wifi

One Doubt:
is Internet Connection need to setup a WiFi Network on computer?
No. Not needed.
One times all Worked well.
Then i connected for second time,It saying "Obtainig Ip Address."
What problem?
First i connected using this settings.
Ad-Hoc
Frequency Band:Forgot.
Ch:10
Frequency Band what should i use?
802.11g
or
802.11b
hi, use 802.11b, i think desire'wifi can't support 802.11g
Supports b/g. Patch and custom kernel needed for n.
Download this app from Market: websharing.
Thanks to all.
Now all working well.
Using File Expert(free version).

Hi All,
Having a little issue with the app called "Wifi File Transfer". As we all know that GNex can't do UMS. Alternative I see on XDA forum is use wifi transfer program, and some recommended using Wifi File Transfer.
Issue is, it seems that my GNex can't connect properly. I typed "192.168.1.x:1234" into the browser, and it failed to connect. Then I checked the IP address (eg. 192.168.1.27), and try to ping the GNex's IP from a PC, it can't locate...
Do any of you have this issue? Does the GNex's LAN IP need to be ping-able (not sure if this is a word but u get the idea) for Wifi File Transfer to work?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx in advance!
Maybe a stupid question but, your phone and computer are on the same network right? The app works fine for me.

personally i prefere samba (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba) it allows you to add your phone as a network drive on windows so you can xfer files over wifi like its a drive on your computer..
Found the culprit... its my FIOS router. After restarting the router, Wifi File Transfer works just fine.

Well for about now, the only way to transfer data between two mobiles is Bluetooth. Infrared has gone for a long time and despite we don’t use it much, still sometimes we have to use it to transfer small size photos or Music. The real reason why we hate transferring large files via Bluetooth, is because it is not that much fast. You will get a 200kbps rate, not fast enough for files of 1GB or even 100MB, they will consume a lot of time to transfer them.
In Past, we share an article about using ES File explorer to Stream movies from PC, today we will share how to transfer very large files, in terms of Bluetooth, within Android devices using ES File Explorer. Since ES File Explorer has the option to connect to an IP for data transferring, without having any Access point to connect, using a concept of Wi-Fi Direct. All you need is Two or More Android devices with ES File Explorer installed on both of them and your Android device must be running Android 4.1 or Above.
How To Transfer Large Files Between Android Devices
First of all we need to Create a Personal Hotspot, no need to connect to any external Hotspot.
Go to Setting, Select More under Wireless and Network Settings, Tap in Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Set the Password if you want, and also set the SSID name.
Now connect the Devices using that Wi-Fi Hotspot, just make sure you have the Dynamic IP, not the Static one.
Once the devices are connected, Open ES File Explorer.
Select the File/Files in ES explorer,either Tap the 3 Dots or the option key in your device and Tap Send.
If the devices are successfully connected, you will see the IP or the Second Android device on the List.
The other device will see the Notification. Once accepted, the transfer speed will be more than 3-5Mbps, you can transfer a full HD movies in a matter of Minutes.
You can minimize the Transfer if you want to do anything else.
You can do the same with more Android devices, I mean more than Two.

Try fast file transfer it's faster than super beam and it doesn't use any mobile data or wifi data (if you want to test try sending a file with mobile data and wifi off)

I believe Fast File Transfer uses the same WiFi connection itself. You have to connect to hotspot.
Superbeam can transfer files between PC and device too.
