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
Guys I want to access my pc files from my phone through WiFi not the other way around.

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.

How to connect to ftp servers using phone?
Use Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer from Play Store.
I used the file explorer but I cant connect to my pc. There is only a server option, I want to connect as client so i can copy files from my pc. thanks
Use Total Commander with the FTP plugin
I'm sure that Solid Explorer works as a client, I'm using it It's also great file managerm, maybe even the best free one.

[Q] Access folder by PC
Hey guys! I have a problem ... I use an app for courses (Udemy) and it have the option to download courses for offline watching. Did it. I can watch the app offline, but wanted to move to the PC. I found the files in the folder: android / data / com.udemy.android / files / udemy-final-downloads Within this folder I have several folders, each containing one video of the course. The problem is that when plug the mobile in PC most of the files do not appear. In short: I can see all the phone but the PC does not appear the most. I've tried with linux and windows. Already asked to view hidden files and resolves nothing. Has anyone had similar problem? Obs.'s Mobile phone is a Moto X. Thanks Guys! Felipe

Click to collapse Move the files or folder to your highest directory. Should be something like /storage/emulated/0. FYI, your device has to be unlocked (meaning PIN or pattern or password or whatever) to open anything on the phone on your PC.

I tried it too. The files are very big 4.8 GB and always stop. I'll try do it littke files at time.
Send to PC over Bluetooth? Delete and re-download them to a location of your choosing?
Copy via PC or SDCard You can locate the folder as you did, thus: android/data/com.udemy.android/files/udemy-final-downloads copy it to memory card or flash using otg if your device supported it. Otherwise, you copy it to your PC, I used Ubuntu to copy the folder. Afterwards open and rename each course (file) accordingly, but is a very tiresome task. Hope this will help. outrofelipe said: Hey guys! I have a problem ... I use an app for courses (Udemy) and it have the option to download courses for offline watching. Did it.

What protocol are you accessing the files from your PC? Are you using MTP, MSC, etc...? May i suggest that you install ES File manager, use it's remote manager (which uses ftp) to check if you can see the files. Personaly for transfering files between my Droid and my PC, because MTP is so utterly slow I use an app called "MTP-alternative" which allow you to tranfer files over USB but uses the Wedav protocol and is really quick. (if it works, bear in mind that when transfering files to your mobile it copy them in /data/local/tmp which gives the impression that the files aren't transfered to your mobile) Sent from my XT894 using Tapatalk
I have the same problem.
udemy downloader I higly recommend Avdshare Video Downloader which can directly and batch download videos from Udemy to MP4, AVI, MP3
Hey, i realize this is very late but i hope my answer will help others. I had to do something simillar and i found a very simple work around. all you have to do is download winrar or any other app that can archive files/directories. Use the app to make an archive of the Final Downloads folder which contains all the other nested folders with the videos in them. Now you can connect your phone to your computer and transfer the .rar or .zip file over and extract it on your desktop.
Thanks for your answer, this is worked for me. The problem is solved now. halomaverick said: Hey, i realize this is very late but i hope my answer will help others.

Click to collapse I find Dropbox or Google Drive to be the easiest solutions for this. It sets up a folder on your PC and whatever you put in it will sync online and be accessed through the respective apps on the phone.
With a little more investigation, Samba File Sharing located here does the trick. Astro and Ez File explorer allow you to view files on your network, but not the other way around. Samba adds your phones internal storage as a network folder. If your phone has an external sd card, then you can add to show it as well. Though, I would like the option to only allow certain folders to be shared, but this works just fine!

If you have a browser installed, you probably don't need a file browser, just download an apk from any website, and open it from the downloading list in the browser. you may start with a file manager.
