in Android, How To's

If you want to transfer data like applications, music, and videos from your computer to Android phone OR from Android phone to computer, then you need to connect both the devices using a USB cable connection or pull out the SD card to transfer your data.

However, if your Android device and PC is connected over a common wireless network, then you can easily transfer files wirelessly (over Wi-Fi) without using any USB cable or the cumbersome SD card method. Check the below tutorial carefully:

Transferring Data between Android and Computer over Wi-Fi –

    Thanks a lot!
    I had no idea what I would do at school with my books in my phone I needed the day I didn’t bring my USB cable with me and my laptop doesn’t support bluetooth! This has been of great help and expands the android phone functionality. Great software, great article!

    By the way, the ‘stay in folder’ field is not always to be filled with “/mnt/sdcard”. My Motorolla Cliq running Eclair rejected that and accepted “/sdcard” and worked like a charm.

    Thanks again!
