Use an FTP server app on the Switch.
Connect via FTP client (Filezilla) from PC.
???

An alternative would be to use AirDroid on the switch, if the pc and the switch are on the same network :highfive:

If you dont want to setup FTP server on your computer, you can try Goodsync as well. It's a paid app for the server, but once you get it installed it's better than FTP. It uses its own file transfer protocol that can be used across the internet securely too. You have the server running on your computer, run the Goodsync app on Android, and then you can have it do auto/manual backups and transfers of files. There's also a desktop file browser app.
I use FX Fileexplorers "Web Access Mode"
Orrrr. copy them to the microSD's partitition and then utilize TWRP to move em over to /sdcard.
(USB doesn't register correctly with my pc, Bluetooth on switchroot denies file transfer...)

Did anyone find a way to use WI-FI(much faster then BT/IR) to transfer files to a PC?
why should we use BT(MAX of 18 Kb/s) when we can use WI-FI with a max of 10 Mb/s??
If you mean ad-hoc connection, I have not tried but if you mean connecting the PPC to a network, just share a folder on the PC and transfer files through that shared folder.
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be a way to make a share folder on a PPC.
I'll try that, TNX.
you could install a ftp server such as vxftp.
I just share a folder on my laptop, then connect laptop and PDA both to same wireless base station. You can type in "\\servername" in totalcommander and navigate to your laptop and copy files back and forth. Works for Windows PCs - not sure about Macs/Linux.
Hi Friends !!!
I want some way for sharing files between pc and ppc with wifi . i was bored from connecting my phone to pc by Cable .
can anybody help ? PLZ
My phone is HTC Diamond
total commander is an easy way to access shares from a pda
but of cause the pda have to be a valid user to the share like any other
computer trying to access a shared storage
You can also install an ftp server like Mocha ftp. After you have started the ftp server, you can use your favourite ftp client on the PC to access the files on the PPC - no need to poke/type on the PPC all the time if you're in front of a PC already.
Sorry but can u explain more about this ftp network .
i dont have any experience with FTP . what apps should i have ?
in pc ? in ppc ? :|
Sorry , but can u help with mocha ftp ? how is it work ?
and one thing more that how can i find my pc and ppc 's IP ?
remote desktop? u can rdp from the ppc to the pc and enable the disk share thing.
Resco File Explorer! It's Shareware - but works very well...
You see windows-shares-NAMES, no IP!
lg....
Mocha ftp is a free download from http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm. You can find the license key just below the download button.
Once you have started the Mocha ftp server you should set a username and password in File -> Settings and then click on the Start button. The IP Address of the PPC is displayed on the status page of Mocha ftp server.
Now you should be able to use ftp://username:[email protected]_address from your desktop, or the command line ftp client, or any other ftp client.
Hmm, I just tried ftp://username:[email protected]_address from Windows Explorer and it did not work :-(
I don't know a good Windows ftp client, because I don't use Windows normally. Maybe someone else can help there.

Start - Settings - connections - WLAN - 2nd tab you see your ip, but switch your wlan on.
Or use LANview, there you see all ip's in the network
Hi Boys .... I thank all your efforts for my problem .... TNX
I downloaded ( SmartFTP ) ftp client for windows and i tried to connect to my phone but it says :
[19:15:57] Resolving host name "169.254.26.25"
[19:15:57] Connecting to 169.254.26.25 Port: 21
[19:15:26] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[19:15:27] Connect failed. Waiting to retry (30s)...
[19:15:27] Client closed the connection.
I Don't know what to do . HELP ME PLZZZZZZZ !!!!!!
Just to make sure: is 169.254.26.25 the same IP address you see in Mocha ftp server? And you clicked on "Start" in Mocha ftp server, so you see "State: online"?
If yes, it is possible that the Mocha ftp server is not compatible with SmartFTP (although it should work, but it did not work for me with Windows Explorer or KDE konqueror).

I Tried with almost all programs , but .................
Isn't there any other way except ftp ???
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467877 it works
I usually use hfs file server. Very simple and powerful but can not do folders. The best for files. Be anywhere with a wifi connect & download from your pc running hfs direct to your phone.
Mocha is nice too. Use Total commander's ftp abilities on your pc while mocha is running on your phone.
I will say for large files such as a 500+ mb avi, a card reader is faster.

Hello to all
I would like to connect my mega to my home comp and to able to accses my hdd drives via wirelles
Is there any program for this that is like total commander or something similar
Cant you do that with wifi? Yes yo do have to share your computer for access though.
i use total commander, it has plugin for ftp download here... but you need run on pc a ftp server like Filezilla Server
Resco File Explorer has the best FTP explorer for it ;-)
what is the way to connect phone to pc with resco?

hello all!
i managed to do do the rooting thing by myself (thats what i think) and i just need u guys to tell me if i did right
1- i followed this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/how-to-root-android-pie-8-0-1-nvidia-t3982709
2- my shield is now showing that error message at the start telling its unlocked,
3- i have now magisk and twrp installed and i can see the root directory.
Now to the things that i need to understand here is what do i need the rooted image from nvidia for? and why cant i access the root from ftp ? only my usb drive and sd card is showing but root not accessed from ftp.
MY android is: 8.1
Thanx in advance for all help.
2- it's not an error, but a warning.
Don't worry about it
The development image from nvidia is running a developer build of android which is prerooted and in theory su's like magisk should be easier to install.
The stock ota/recovery images comes with more protection which makes them harder to root and to do changes to the system, but thanks to people like @rootfan it's pretty much painless.
Are you sure it's ftp and not smb?
Smb just shows the internal and external drives.
If you are using an ftp server app on the shield you need to setup the paths yourself within that app.
Thanx for clearifying this, so in my case i dont need any image cuz i alredy done it i guess.
I tried to set up the ftp server to point to the root directory in my nvidia shield but i could not find any app that can point the root. All apps seems old.
How do you guys fix this?
I'm using servers ultimate.
I also think the app just called ftp server can do it.
Solid explorer might also be able to.
Atleast in servers ultimate I have to manually type in the path which is just "/" that should bring you to the root folder.
I use server ftp and server ultimate. The first one works flowless but no root. The second one that you said have root access but i cant connect to the server for unkbown reason. Could be the port

I tried that ultimate one and it says its runing but i cant connect to it from pc. My unrooted ftp server app works without problems. Any other apps out there that i can try?
Edit: after testing few things i managed to run ftp from browser bytyping ftp:// my external ip : port
But this doesnt work from an ftp client from my pc at the same netwrok. Even if i give the box internal ip.

Which one of the ftp servers within servers ultimate are you running?
I can only get "ftp server" to work and not the native one.

i found the problem, it was network problem, not ftp server, all worked fine, when i changed to another ftp client (total commander) instade of (winscp) it worked, i guess its has something to do with passive or active mod in the connection. now when i connect from pc i can run ftp root ( / ). thanks alot for helping me out.
i know its not so big thing rooting the shield cuz these days u can allmost do anything by sideloading apps or games but do you guys have any tips what do to with rooted box that cant be done with sideloading?
