Quickest method of copying a file from a PC using wifi?

[Fudzy]

Busy using astro explorer but it's taking forever, is there a quicker method of copying a file from a Windows share wirelessly? I could download the file faster!

I use ES explorer, give it a try and see if the speeds are any better, but generally I've noticed the wifi speeds are slow when copying

If you have a Dropbox account then you can move the file over local access through the app on the phone. I haven't tried it but may be quick to setup .

i use ES explorer on my phone to copy from my network, but if you want to dump a few mp3's or other files quickly, check out Airdroid.
another option is running hfs ,, (http file share) then you can browse your files through any web browser on your phone.
if everything is still slow, then look at buying a new AP (+- R160 at www.scoop.co.za) or lifting it higher or something to increase the signal

It might help if you push, instead of pulling.

root + Samba needed.

Solid explorer is faster then ES in my experience.

Airdroid as well

Can you copy to a flash drive then use an OTG cable? That's quickest for me, besides plugging in via USB cable. How come you're limited to wireless?

Out of laziness

Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n - thinking the last two speeds are a lie.
