This app came in handle as I didn't needed a data cable to transfer file. Is there a equivalent android app? cheers in advance
It came in a handle? How weird!
I presume you mean you want to be able to browse and transfer files with your LAN over WiFi? If so, you want an app called "EStrong file explorer", which has LAN capability.

Hi,
I would like to transfer files between phones using bluetooth.
I can set up a synch between two devices (e.g. my wifes Sony-Ericsson) but I cannot find any way of using the connection to transfer files.
Have I missed something simple?
Thanks,
Joe

Just use OBEX file transfer - that is, simple Beam File from your File Explorer on your Pocket PC (and send file or something like that on the phone). See for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info on file transfer issues over BT.

What you speak of already works and I use it from time-to-time.
First, create an Ad-Hoc (not Infrastructure) Wireless Network with some SSID and Encryption assigned on the PC.
Then on the Universal, add the same Ad-Hoc Wireless Network as you have set on the PC.
You can connect to shared drives on your network with the standard File Explorer.
When you have File Explorer running then from Menu select "Open path" and then "New Path". Then type in the path to your network drive and you should get connected. If you have some form of security, you might need to fill in a login form.

For ressurrecting 4 year old threads?
What is the best way to transfer large amounts of data between Desire HD's? My girlfriend got herself one as well after playing around with mine for a few days =) We see ourselves sending each other files ranging from 10MB to 100MB (occasionally more). And by this I mean when we're together away from home like when we meetup on Friday nights after work so no access to a PC.
Is Bluetooth suitable for transferring files of such sizes? Even if it would, wouldn't that take forever?
Will wifi be an option? If so, how? Are there apps that facilitate Andriod <=> Android file transfers?
Thanks in advance!
in my opinion the fastest method is to connect both of the DHD to a computer and transfer the file.
in another case wifi is pretty fast but i dont know how to transfer with it.

Samba. Never tried it on android but should work a treat if you can get it set up, though it does require root.

The easiest way is to get an app called Bump. Download it to both phones, select a file and Bump the phones together, and the transfer begins.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bump/com.bumptech.bumpga
You can also turn one of your DHDs into a file server a browse it with the other app. There are quite a lot of alternatives. Search appbrain for "file server".
E.g:
SwiFTP FTP Server
http://www.appbrain.com/app/swiftp-ftp-server/org.swiftp
it turns a DHD into an FTP server, you can then use the IP address ti access it with an FTP client from the desktop or DHD (Astro, AnyFTP, etc.) and transfer files. The transfer will be as fast as the Wifi or network you are using.
I am on HyperDroid 6.0.1 MAGLDR version and am trying to use the Wifi tethering to provide a Wifi access point that my friend's Sony W995 can connect to. I have done this and he can use the internet via my Wifi connection. What I have not been able to do is to copy files between the 2 phones. We used to use Bluetooth but I wanted to try Wifi as we are now further apart and Bluetooth does not connect at this distance.
I have turned on "Network Sharing" on the W995 and set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (rather than the default 255.255.255.255 - found a website that said this was needed - neither work).
I have ES File Explorer on my Android phone and it cannot see the W995 on the LAN settings (a scan finds nothing).
Does anyone know what I need to set up?
Thanks

You could try airdroid from the market installed on one device and then use the browser on the other to copy files, maybe!!!

I tried airdroid but could not get the w995 to connect to the web address specified in airDroid. I guess i will have to continue to use Bluetooth and leave my phone near my friends's phone
Silly question but did you select wifi tether in airdroid. Like make sure tether is active before starting airdroid?

Not a silly question at all. I looked in airdroid but could not find a tethering option. I had already turned on tethering and got my friend's phone surfing the net via my data connection before trying to run airdroid. AirDroid kept saying wifi is not on.
I did a bit more googling and came across some samba server apps (from which i could connect my phone to my router at home and get my windows 7 PC accessing my sd card wirelessly). I didn't think my friend's w995 had software to access samba shares so that was still no good. I finally found an app called "wifi file explorer" which would detect i was on wifi tethering (also does normal wifi by the way). It would then provide a web server that my friend's w995 could connect to as a simple http://192.168.1.xxx:8000/ address in his w995's web browser. From here he could navigate my sd card and download the relevant files, job done
I tried the same on another friend's Sony w715 but that wouldn't load the main page properly. I will f try some of the "wifi file explorer" options to see if it can make the main page simpler.
Over wifi we transferred a 200MB file in about 8 minutes (if i remember correctly)
Thanks for your help

You can also try setting up FTP file server on Android or set up samba file server on Android.

I had tried a samba server app on my Android phone but i didn't know how to access it from my friend's w995. I also tried the ftp server in "ES File Explorer" but again didn't know how to access it on the w995. Both of the samba and ftp methods could be accessed fine on my windows PC.
How would I share the contents read/write over my wifi network? Similar to a shared network drive?

Hi my friends are using app Samba Filesharing (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba), but I haven't tried it myself though. It starts SMB server on your phone, so you can connect from any PC to your phone.
To access SMB share on PC from a phone, I use ES File Explorer.
There is one important thing: All SMB servers (like Samba Filesharing) need root access to your phone.
I think Astro has a built in Windows file sharing feature.

that particular application randomly reboots my phone. Using Droid NAS for now, its basic but it works, any commandline solutions out there as well? Attempting to get smb/nas and tasker to work together
Have You tried any FTP server in phone, and connect by FTP client from PC?
