Sharing files between PC (ES File Explorer/SwiFTP)

[milesbennetdyson]

Hi, I'm trying to share files between my PC and my Android phone over my wifi network. I set a network up on my PC and can connect easily with ES File Explorer. But when it comes to viewing the files on my phone via my PC I seem to be a bit stuck. I can do it using SwiFTP no problems, but my question is, is it possible without SwiFTP? Just connecting to it like another PC on the network?

Also, do I need to set a password to view files on the PC from the phone, or is it okay seeing as you already have to get past the password to connect to the router?

Depending on the size of files you want to store an alternative approach might be to consider dropbox, a "free" app (2GB storage is free, you pay for more).

there also is an app called wifi file explorer which you download an app to your phone, and type the web addy it gives you in your pc browser to view your files. hope this helps

airdroid is also a free app for transferring files over wifi.
