Connecting your phone to a computer via wifi will significantly save expensive 3G traffic and create your own wireless network even without access to a router. And in this article we will look at how to distribute wifi from a computer to a phone, as well as touch on the technical features of such a non-standard Wi-Fi network.

Of course, you can distribute Wi-Fi from a computer to a phone without a router only if the PC has its own wifi adapter. This question discussed in more detail in articles and.

So, among the most common ways to connect a phone to a computer via wifi is the creation of a wi-fi connection. Windows tools and using the command line. By the way, the computer here acts not only as an access point, but also as a repeater.

How to distribute wi-fi from computer to phone via windows 7 interface?

To begin with, let's analyze the option with a Wi-Fi connection using Windows 7: this is the simplest and universal way creating a network between the computer and the phone.

Note that the names of folders and files for others Windows versions may differ slightly.

• - To transfer files from computer to phone via wifi, the PC must have an active Internet connection;
• - Create a new connection " Wireless network computer-computer ";

• - Fill in the network name (for example, let's call it “MyNewNetwork”), (WPA2 - PSK) and the key (think of a password) for the created network, and click “Save settings” - “Next”;

• - Click on "Enable Connection Sharing". This completes the transformation of the computer into an access point. In the section "Parameters general access"Set" enable "on all required items

Now from your phone, search for available wifi points, find the network you created ("MyNewNetwork") and connect to it by entering the security key.

How to distribute Wi-Fi from computer to phone via the command line?

To distribute the Internet from a computer to a phone via wifi:

Open " Command line»;

Enter "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = wifi phone key = 000000 keyUsage = persistent" (accordingly, all commands are entered without quotes);

• - a notification will appear about the successful placement of the network you created ("MyNewNetwork");
• - in the "Device Manager" ("My Computer" - "Management") there will be a device named "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Mini-Port Adapter";
• - click on the created connection and open "Property" - "Access";
• - set both options for sharing and select a new connection from the list.

To enable the network, open Command Prompt again and type netsh wlan start hostednetwork.

This command must be entered every time you turn on the computer - this way you determine when to grant access to your network.

To disable - "netsh wlan stop hostednetwork".

To change the username or password - "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid =" WifiNewName "key =" New password "keyUsage = persistent".

For password recovery - "netsh wlan show hostednetwork setting = security".

In addition, to make it easier to connect your phone via wifi to a computer, you can make a mini-utility that will contain a command to start the network:

Open Notepad or the Notepad ++ editor enter the command to start the network;

Save the file with the .bat extension in the "File name" column, for example - new-wifi.bat;

After saving the program, to start the network, just open this file.

The .bat files, and especially the .vbs files, require an enabled English keyboard layout.

However, such a network has a significant drawback: the computer will distribute Wi-Fi to the phone and other devices only in the "active" mode of operation, but the network will become unavailable even if the PC simply goes to sleep. Therefore, it is recommended to immediately turn off the "Hibernation" mode.

How to connect a phone to a computer via wifi: automatic network operation

You can also customize automatic switching on and turning off the network if you need to distribute the Internet for a limited time.

Create 2 .bat files: one with the enable command, and the other, respectively, with the shutdown. For this:

• - "Start" - "Control Panel" - "System and its maintenance" - "Administrative Tools" - "Task Scheduler" (or maybe "Scheduled Tasks");
• - Set your task for each file (enable / disable): let's say that you will have Internet distribution every day from 12:00, and the second file with a shutdown will be launched every day at 16:00.

Sometimes the error "Failed to connect to the network ..." appears or it just goes "permanent" without access to the Internet.

The reason that wi-fi does not work on the phone (but on the computer does) may be:

Blocking the connection by Windows Firewall

Antivirus blocking the connection.

You do not need to connect to the network, file transfer works without the Internet.

Transfer file using WI-FI Direct

This method works without installing additional software, but I was able to successfully transfer files only between two Samsung devices, nothing happened with the LG smartphone. It probably also depends on why this technology used in a specific smartphone. Below is a screenshot from the help for LG phone, applicable for this function.

On the contrary with devices Samsung problems did not arise

SHAREit is a universal wi fi file sharing application that works equally well not only on Android, but also on iOS, Windows, WinPhone and MacOS.

• Install SHAREit on your smartphone

In general, I do not know if this article can be useful to someone, since transferring files to the phone usually does not pose any problems. Nevertheless, I undertake to write about this, in the course of the article I will talk about the following things:

• Transfer files over the wire via USB. Why files are not transferred via USB to my phone in Windows XP (for some models).
• How to transfer files over Wi-Fi (two ways).
• Transfer files to your phone via Bluetooth.
• Synchronizing files using cloud storage.

In general, the outline of the article is outlined, I proceed. Read more interesting articles about Android and the secrets of using it.

Transferring files over Wi-Fi is possible in several ways - in the first, and perhaps the best of them, the computer and the phone should be in the same local network- i.e. connected to the same Wi-Fi router, or the phone should be turned on Wi-Fi distribution, and from the computer connect to the created access point. In general, this method will work over the Internet, but in this case registration will be required, and file transfer will be slower, since the traffic will go through the Internet (and with a 3G connection it will also be expensive).

Access to Android files via browser in Airdroid

Directly to access files on your phone, you need to install the AirDroid application on it, which can be downloaded for free from Google play... After installation, you can not only transfer files, but also perform many other actions with your phone - write messages, view photos, etc. I wrote in detail about how it works in the article.

In addition, you can use more sophisticated methods to transfer files over Wi-Fi. The methods are not entirely for beginners, and therefore I will not explain them too much, I will just hint how else this can be done: those who need it will easily understand what it is about. These are the ways:

• Install FTP Server on Android for FTP file access
• Create shared folders on a computer, access them using SMB (supported, for example, in ES File Explorer for Android

In order to transfer files via Bluetooth from a computer to a phone, just turn on Bluetooth on both, also in the phone, if it has not been previously paired with this computer or laptop, go to the Bluetooth settings and make the device visible. Next, in order to transfer the file, click on it right click mouse and select "Send" - " Bluetooth device". In general, that's all.

Transferring files to your phone via BlueTooth

Some laptops may have preinstalled programs for more convenient BT file transfer and more advanced features using Wireless FTP. Such programs can also be installed separately.

Using cloud storage

If you are not yet using any of the cloud services, such as SkyDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Yandex Drive, then it's high time - believe me, it's very convenient. Including in those cases when you need to transfer files to your phone.

In general, which is suitable for anyone cloud service, you can download the corresponding free app to your Android phone, run it with your credentials and get full access to the synchronized folder - you can view its contents, change it or download data to your phone. Depending on which specific service you use, there are additional features... For example, in SkyDrive, you can access all folders and files on your computer from your phone, and in Google Drive, you can edit documents and spreadsheets in the vault right from your phone.

I think these methods will be enough for most purposes, but if I forgot to mention an interesting option, be sure to write about it in the comments.

If you actively use a modern phone, then you probably often have to transfer some files from your computer to your phone and vice versa. These may be documents e-books, music or movies.

The most popular way to transfer files from computer to phone is via USB cable... This method has been used since the advent of smart phones, but it is not very convenient. Especially if you only have one cable and use it for both charging and transferring files. But, if your computer and phone are connected to the same network, then you can transfer files from computer to phone via WiFi. Now we will consider two options for how this can be organized.

How to transfer files over WiFi using FTP server

The first option we'll look at is transferring files from computer to phone using FTP server... Principle of operation this method extremely simple. An FTP server is launched on the phone, after which this FTP server is connected from a computer. You can then transfer files from your computer to your phone via WiFi. If this option you are interested, then we offer a small instruction.

First, you need to install an application on your phone that will launch the FTP server. For example, an application can be used on an Android phone. Phones on other platforms should also have similar apps, search your app store.

After installing the application, launch it and turn on the FTP server. Usually it is enough to click on big button"Turn on". Moreover, no additional customization not needed for FTP server.

After starting the FTP server, the application will report the address to which it will be possible to connect to it. This address will look something like this: ftp://192.168.1.10:2221.

Then everything is also very simple. You need to connect to this FTP server on your computer. For this, you can use specialized FTP clients(for example, Filezilla), or you can just use Windows Explorer, which also works well with FTP. To do this, open the "My Computer" window and enter the address given by the application into address bar.

Thereafter in Windows Explorer the contents of your phone will open. Now, in order to transfer files from computer to phone via Wi-Fi, you just need to drag and drop files into this folder.

How to transfer files over WiFi using a web server

You can also use a Web server to transfer files from your computer to your phone via WiFi. In this case, instead of the FTP server, the phone is installed Web server, and a regular web browser is used to connect to the phone from a computer.

So, if you want to transfer files via wi-fi with using the Web server, then you need to install the corresponding application on your phone. For Android phones, you can use the app. Install this application on your phone, launch it and click on the "Start" button to enable the Web server.

After that, the application will provide an address with which you can connect to the Web server.

Now on your computer, open any web browser and enter the address given by the application into the address bar. After that, you should see a web interface for managing files on your phone.
