Android WiFi/WLAN Plugin for Totalcmd

Post by *bg »

Is there a way to easy transfer files from PC to Android via wifi using TCMD like from Android to PC?

I think it's much easier to do it the other way around, i.e. transfer files from PC to Android. That way, all you need is an FTP server on Android and you will have the comfort of running Totalcmd on your desktop.

1) Olive Tree FTP server: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserver&hl=en

2) Cheetah Mobile File Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm&hl=en
- Go to PC Sync to start up the FTP server

No, just share a FOLDER with the Wifi plugin, then check the option to allow uploads.

The plugin will show an URL which you can use with the TC WebDAV plugin for Windows. The newer versions of that plugin also allow to scan the QR-Code if your PC has a webcam, but this is optional.

Thanks for the hints! However "WiFi/WLAN Plugin for Totalcmd supports direct connections via HTTP over WiFi/WLAN between two Android devices, or between Android (Server) and any device or computer with a Web browser or WebDAV client." but not PC to Android! I also do not want setup FTP server at work. Simply share the folder in tcmd which will generate link or QR-code, and I'll download it on my Android via browser or by reading QR. Like the app's with transfer via wifi/ web sharing...

Why would you want to work on the phone while you are at the PC? That doesn't really make any sense. Just do as I suggest, use the WiFi plugin as the server and upload files from the PC.

If this has already been done for the first time, and Android is restarted (so WiFi server is not active any more) or plugin is turned off thru that menu in upper left corner, it would be good if there is a possibility to only call this window and simply click "Start Server" button, if someone is allways sharing same folder or external SD card.

ES File Explorer can start FTP server with only one click on shortcut, totaly silently ... without questions, confirmations etc.

I agree, it would be a nice addition to launch the server with a single click. I will check whether I could add a "Create link in Android launcher" or similar.
