Then you create a folder on your PC which is accessible from the network. With es file explorer you can access it and copy files.
See screenshot
If you want to copy files from your PC to your phone you could make a ftp server with es file explorer.
Atleast that's the way I copy files when they are not too big because cable is faster in copying.
I hope I could help you...

anyone knows???
I've never tried it but MyMobiler (http://www.mymobiler.com/) is supposed to work over an IP connection, might be worth a try.

That works fine, it also works if your using the phone as a modem with internet sharing, you just need to find the phones IP

accessing smb shares is a build in capability of windows mobile. it can also be used with the file brower supplied with windows mobile go menu->go to->open path->new path. anyhow the most convenient way to access your pc is HTC's network plugin. it creates folders in "\" that lead to your pc shares. (permanently and application independent)
for the other way round i use the mocha ftp server.http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm

Been looking for a thread on this but cannot seem to find it. How does one go about doing this? If I download an app to the computer and want to install directly to the phone, how can I do it if Kies does not allow me to do it? It keeps telling me it is not the right format when '.apk.' states it is.
BTW, is the lastest Kies suite v1.5.1.10074_2?
Switch to mass storage on your phone and transfer the file over.

You don't need Kies. Just connect your phone as a "Mass Storage device" to your computer and copy the apk file either to the internal or external sd card. Then using a folder organizer (either the inbuilt or any other app like astro) locate the apk file on your phone and click on it. It should then prompt you to install it.
Hope this helps.
adb install
Or if u cant use USB cable, just transfer the .apk file to your SGS via bluetooth then find the file in your SGS. default is:/sdcard/bluetooth then ryn it from there.

Estrongs File Explorer can access any share on your computer directly.
Also, you can use adbWireless (just search for it). Assuming the SDK is installed, you can do:
adb connect x.x.x.x (your phone's ip address)
adb install your_app.apk
No usb connection needed.
Thanks guys. I transfered the file directly using the Mass Storage method used Astro to gain access to the file to install it. Great help from all of you. I do appreciate it very much. Again, a big thank you.
Dropbox is also great for transfering apk-files to your phone!

That's what I'm using
Perfectly fine, and even very practical. I sometimes give out links to my dropbox to my friends if they want an app that they saw on my phone.
Whoops, double post.
I can access my Clockwork Mod files via my Gnex, but they are not accessible when trying to copy to my PC. I see the device, I can see the CWM folder, but no backup folder exists. I can see everything else on the device. Tried coping the files to the root with no success. I have been able to access this files in the past.
Ideas?
I haven't had a problem specifically with CWM files, but changing the folder options on my PC (inside the Galaxy Nexus folders) to "show hidden files" usually did the trick...

Small chance, but look in your "clockworkmod" folder and its subfolders and see if there are a file called ".nomedia" which would cause the folder contents to be hidden when connected to the PC in MTP mode.
You can also use the app AirDroid to transfer files through WiFi.

Use a file manager in the phone itself, look in your "clockworkmod" folder and its subfolders and delete any file called ".nomedia".

I'm pretty sure that's a solution to the opposite problem. Hence, the files are showing up on the computer and phone file manager, but not in the apps. The .nomedia file tells the apps not to scan the specific folder they're sitting in. For example, yesterday my friends Galaxy Mini wasn't showing any pics in the gallery app or music in the music app, even though they clearly existed on the phone (via file manager and when hooked up to the PC). Deleted the .nomedia file and <insert sound effect here (I.E."BAM!"> all was good.

Thanks for the assistance, but no luck. Using Airdroid at the moment, but is is slower than slow.
Any other ideas are appreciated.

Try Local Sync, it easy and fast.
Thanks
Thanks. Local Sync doesn't seem to be much quicker. Can't find the option to sync one folder only, so it is syncing my entire CWM folder.
Question still stands why the heck I can't see those files via my PC.

Have tried reboots o both PC and phone. Also tried a different PC. Very strange that i can see everything else.
I could try to restore from a previous CWM backup and see if I am able to copy.
Any luck using adb?
ADB

ADB command line is a bit out of my scope. Maybe I'll take a shot at it later. Installed a previous CWM BU, but no success.
Hello friends,
As you know our device natively blocks sharing of .apk files as well as .rar files ( That's what I've found till now). I have got a nice way to easily share those files with Bluetooth. All you need is an archiver installed in your mobile.
Share files from PC/Lappy to mobile
--> Select the file(s) you want to share.
--> Add them to archive with .zip extension.
--> Now just send that .zip file to your mobile via Bluetooth.
--> Extract that file and voila, your .apk files is transferred successfully
Share files from mobile to mobile
--> Open any archiver application
--> Select the file(s) you want to share.
--> Now tap on compress. ( By default they will be compressed in .zip extension)
--> Now just send that .zip file to your mobile via Bluetooth.
--> Extract that file and voila, your .apk files is transferred successfully
If you find any other ways, in which are able to receive through Bluetooth directly, please do comment here..
Well atleast for mobile to mobile there are other quick ways of sharing apk, rar or any file via bluetooth... just rename your file from *.apk to *_apk , then send it, then just rename back to *.apk. Or best of all just use OBEX FTP protocol, i do via ES File explorer and its the best way to send apks or any file via Bluetooth, no renaming , no archive/unarchive mess, straight file transfers. The obex ftp should work on a pc too but i havent tested it so cant say it works or not.

Thanks for sharing !
But the thing is won't you be to tired by renaming each apk again and again if you are sending in bulk. Guess it's a boring work..
Use 3rd party application like software data cable or super beam .
Me and my frnds use this I don't know about others

Are you supposed to use the Client or the Server at the PC end?
Edit: Figured it out Thanks for the program recommendation
