Transfer Files Wirelessly Between Smartphone and PC Without Any Cables

In today's world, transferring files between your smartphone and your PC should be fast, easy, and wireless. If you're tired of fumbling with USB cables or dealing with driver issues, then you're in the right place.

In this guide, you'll learn a simple step-by-step method to transfer files wirelessly between your Android smartphone and a Windows PC using a free and lightweight app called WiFi FTP Server. Whether it's photos, videos, documents, or any other files – everything can be moved seamlessly without any cables.

🎯 Why Go Wireless?

Wireless file transfers offer:

• 📶 Cable-free convenience
• ⚡ Faster access without the hassle
• 🔁 Two-way file transfers (phone ⇄ PC)

📲 Steps

Let's walk through the complete setup.

🔌 Step 1: Turn On Your Smartphone's Hotspot

The first step is to create a local wireless connection between your phone and PC.

1. Go to your smartphone settings.
2. Turn on Mobile Hotspot / Wi-Fi Hotspot.
3. Now, on your PC, connect to the Wi-Fi network created by your phone.

This creates a private local network between your phone and your PC, even if there is no internet access.

📲 Step 2: Install "WiFi FTP Server" from Google Play Store

To transfer files over the local network, we will use an app that converts your phone into an FTP server.

1. Open Google Play Store on your Android device.
2. Search for WiFi FTP Server by Medha Apps.
3. Download and install it.
4. Once installed, open the app.

You'll see a clean and simple interface that allows you to start your own local FTP server with one tap.

▶️ Step 3: Start the FTP Server on Your Phone

Inside the WiFi FTP Server app, tap the "Start" button.

The app will now show a Server URL, something like:

ftp://192.168.x.x:2221

This address is how your PC will connect to your phone over FTP.

Important: Keep the app open while transferring files. It must be running for the connection to stay active.

💻 Step 4: Connect to Phone's FTP Server from PC

1. Open "This PC" or File Explorer on your Windows computer.
2. Right-click on the blank space and choose:

Add a network location

In the wizard:

1. Click Next → Choose a custom network location → Click Next again.
2. Enter the FTP address from the app (e.g., ftp://192.168.109.189:2221)
3. Click Next, give it a name (e.g., "My Phone FTP"), and click Finish.

🎉 You've now connected your PC to your phone wirelessly!

📁 Step 5: Transfer Files in Both Directions

Now that the network location is created:

To transfer files from phone to PC:

Just open the new FTP folder and drag files to your desktop or any folder.

To send files from PC to phone:

Simply drag and drop files into any folder inside the FTP directory.

Your PC and phone are now wirelessly connected, and you can transfer files anytime as long as they're connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot.

🔁 Reconnecting Later

Each time you want to transfer files:

1. Connect your PC to your phone's hotspot.
2. Open the WiFi FTP Server app and tap Start.
3. On your PC, just double-click the saved network location.

That's it! You can access your phone's files instantly.
