I am about to order a Macbook and read that some people have problems using WiFi Explorer Pro with Mac on OS Lion to transfer file between Mac and Tab. Anyone has success with this combination?
Will there be any compatability issues as I really need to transfer files between Mac and Tab.
Thanks.
You could just setup a SMB share on Lion and use estrong's file explorer. That's what I do and have no issues. You could also use ftp or ssh.
I haven't used Wifi Explorer Pro so I don't know whether or not you'll have issues. You can also try Kies Air or a service like Dropbox or Box to transfer files.

What apps is there to transfer files onto my sd card via wifi? or even LAN ?
MyPhoneExplorer
I use MyPhoneExplorer.
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
It does what you want, via WiFi and also bluetooth. It also has a lot of other useful functions (sideload apps, backup and send SMS, backup phone, etc.) I've been using it since my first SE phone.
Any other suggestions?
adb Wireless.
just run "adb push "path to file or folder" "location to store on phone, unix style."
Or you could try QuickSSHD and a SFTP client like Filezilla.

I'm using FileExpert from market.
It creates FTP server and you can transfer files.

im recommending Websharing. But you must have a wifi router .
ETS file explorer does the same. It also has media player, photo viewer and file explorer.
+1 for that
just install samba file sharing, samba its the file sharing protocol of windows dor unix, you can drop files from any computer to your phone using the lan or ip through inet, the icon is a S its on the market i think, PD: your OS must be rooted!
I recomend using Samba fileshring
Its pretty AWESOME!

Samba Filesharing allows you to mount the SD Card as a network share.
Hi guys,
I would like to access some shared files with my SGS2 in my home network through wifi. So i first looked up for some information. I installed the ES File Explorer and configured a folder on my harddisk to be shared.
Once i opened ES File Explorer, i thried to add a new server. So i filled in my ip-address and my username and password from the computer. But ESFE wasn't able to connect to it.
So i went looking on the internet for some information, and what i learned from it was that it worked through a smb connection, but i don't have any clue how to let it work.
Could anyone explain me how to set up such an smb connection and what are the different steps so that i can access the shared files on my computer with my SGS2.
Thx for the help.
Hi, depends on what operating system you use on the computer.
If your running windows make sure you have file and print sharing enabled in networking, and a shared folder. Appart from that smb is running.
Make sure when you connect your connecting to the shared folder as some file managers wont connect to just the pc.
If your runnin mac os or linux itl take some config so youl have to look that up.
Hope that helps!

I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise edition 64 bit. File and print sharing is enabled.
I turned Windows Firewall off and instead i'm using the AVG firewall. Do I have to configure something in the firewall options?
I installed Astro File Manager and the SMB file module.
I had no problem accessing the windows shares on my local network - just entered IP address, share name, user name and password and it connected straight away.
Ok i found the (provisional) solution for my problem.
It worked to connect when i turned of the AVG firewall, so probably i have to configure something into AVG.
Yeah firewalls tend to like blocking smb. Somewhere you should be able to allow either port 445 or smb or file sharing in AVG not used it so i dont know where but it will be there! Glad you found a solution.

Android File Transfer
Android File Transfer:
I have several folders on my Mac Mini shared via SMB so that I can access them on my home network. Prior to upgrading to Mavericks (10.9), I could use ES File Explorer to access these files on my Android device. Mavericks changed this. As of yet, I am unable to connect to my shared folders. I can see the computer's IP address in ES and I am able to enter my credentials, but it does not accept them. Any known fixes to this?
I'm trying to access a share on a Mac from Android. The share is on a FAT32 external drive, and I can browse/access it from another Mac and from a PC. But when I try to connect from Android, I get an error on the username/password (same user/pass as I'm using from other Mac and from PC). This happens with both ES File Explorer and AndSMB. I've tried both checking and unchecking the "Windows File Sharing" checkbox on the Mac, using anonymous, and two different userids (one a login user, the other a "sharing-only" user). The Android tablet (Galaxy Note 12.2 running CyanogenMod 12.1/Android 5.1.1) can access Windows shares but I need to get to some stuff on the Mac. My phone (stock GS6) is the same--can access Windows and my router's USB share but not the Mac.
I'd like to use SMB instead of something like file transfer because I want to stream video from my Mac to my kids' android tablets on a long airplane flight.
Searching didn't turn up anything useful so I'd appreciate pointers to threads where this has been discussed.
TIA.
Bill
