If you have a Android device or Phone with Wifi, you would not like to use data cables for doing anything over your Android device or PC. Some of you may even forget where your data cable is after sometime. But what to do if you need to transfer files from PC to Android Phone or Android Phone to PC? Should we use the cable to connect PC and the Android Device? Cant we use our existing Wifi Connection to transfer the files either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC? Using a App Swiftp available in Android market for free, it is possible to do that. Today we will talk about how to set that up and use it.
Developers Description
