just curious as to why nobody has been able to create an app that does fle transfer over wifi? i mean surely its faster than bluetooth. ive seen apps on the marker for pc 2 phone and phone 2 pc via websharing, surely all it needs is a little tweek to go from phone to phone all you would have to do is make phone A a hub using an app like websharing and then access that from phone B via a browser. obviously if there was an app created specifically for it it could all be done "in app" rather than external websharing and browser. thoughts anyone? this could potentially be a million quid app if you have the know how.

im not by any means an expert so if im being a retard, please tell me kindly.

It is not exactly what you are looking for but I am quite happy with BUMP to transfer files between mobiles.

so the galaxy nexus is now carrying what google call "wifi direct" which is essentially the solution to the problem i mention in my OP. i should work for google, they wouldve made a fortune if they implemented the technology when i first mentioned the problem rather than announcing it in october 2011.

yes you can.


install swift ftp server on one of the phones



you want an ftp server program



i use that on phone and transfer stuff from pc to phone using that on phone and filezilla on pc (slower than over usb)
