As heading states I would like to know the easiest and simplest way to download files from my pc. Media files are not a problem I use allshare. I would like to be able to download rar zip apk files.
Airdroid let's you view manage and download your phones files on pc now I'm looking for something that can do that from my phone.
I know there are are servers you can set up and that but I don't want to use bandwith just a transfer through WiFi with no Internet connection required.

I use AndSMB from the play store. With AndSMB you can access Windows shares on your PC from your phone. Not sure, but is this what you are looking for?

Remote Web desktop is what you are looking for, download it from market.
Thank you for all the replies.
@Jokesy I am looking for an app that I could use so I can download files from my pc to my phone without actually touching the pc.
I think andsmb is what I'm looking for. I did some research and es file explorer also has this feature.
Could you please give me some sort guide @smilingcruel on how to set it up.
I would greatly appreciate that

Take this my friend it's work perfect
ES File Explorer has a built in FTP-Server.
It even lets you create a separate quickstart icon for the server.
You can easily access your phone through your whole LAN from any PC.
Sync'ing never was that easy :laugh:
airdroid is good; but if you want to see all files in your phone, then use droidexplorer

Too complicated. Just setup a FTP server. If you contact me via PN I can send you a lightweight no-install FTP server
which you can access with your phone (e.g. with "ES File Explorer" or "AndFTP").

Already answered! Read the thread from the beginning.
Thank you everyone for your replies.
I have got both LAN shares and FTP working flawlessly with es explorer.
I don't really see the need for allshare anymore

Use ES File Explorer, ensure that folder is shared on your PC first and in ES file explorer select Local from drop down menu and hit search it should detect your PC IP address, then select it and you should be able to view the folder that you've shared.

A family member has the Galaxy S3 and it is completely stock, non rooted and so on, and i know the phone does not need to be rooted to install apk files.
The problem is that i have copied over the apk file that i want onto his S3 but his phone, no matter what file explorer you use, just will not see the apk files at all, the fines worked fine on my Sensation and DHD and One X, but i just can not get the phone to see the apk files,
any idea's on what is causing the phone to not see the files?
cheers

you sure they are named as .apk file and not .zip? you should be able to see the filename without the .apk in myfiles for example (myapp.apk will appear as myapp), you will also have to check allow install from unknown sources in the security menu in settings..
yes its named .apk
i have not changed anything about the apk files from installing them on my other phones as i said, the DHD and the Sensation are both rooted but my One X is not rooted and that was able to see the apk file and install it, i seriously have no idea on why the S3 is not seeing them at all and that is after searching online for info
also i have enabled the use on non-market applications to be installed, but that is no use if the phone cant see the .apk files to install it in the first place
How you transferred the file to GS3? Is the file visible when connected to PC?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I connected the S3 to the PC via the USB cable and transferred the apk that way to the SD Card, when the phone is connected to the PC i can see the apk

was using both ES and astro, and nothing, what is the builtin explorer? never seen anythin like that installed on the phone
It is called my files.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
getting my files to show hidden files did not work.
what it is that i'm trying to install a game, there is a data folder that has to be transferred onto the phone as well, it goes into the Android\obb folder on the sdcard, i created the folder and copied over the files into the folder, the phone.... using my files, astro or es explorer still will not see that folder i created for the files or the apk file itself that has to be installed for these files to be used.
also i tried it on a friends stock, non-rooted Galaxy S2 and it could see the files and it installed first time with no problems so right now i have no idea on what is going on with the Galaxy S3
Sorted, i know what it was, me being a tit....
when you open astro, it starts off in the SDcard folder... the samsung see's the built in memory as the SDcard.. to see the actual SDcard (the removable one lol) i have to select extSCcard..
Am i a tit or what lol
Cheers for the help anyway guys
much appreciated

I can share any file via wifi with es file explorer.
But I don't like this explorer.
Can I do this thing using xplore soft? If so then how?
