If you are finding a PC to Android file transfer software. Using a WiFi FTP Server is a great and convenient way to transfer photos, videos, and documents from your Android device to your PC wirelessly. It’s free, easy to set up, and doesn’t require cables. Here's an overview:

How it works:

You run an FTP server app on your Android device.

Your PC connects to this server via an FTP client or web browser.

You can browse, upload, or download files directly over WiFi.

 

Using WiFi FTP Server: 

1. Download and install the PC to Android file transfer software on your Android device.

2. Open the app, configure the server (set port, username/password if needed).

3. Start the server.

4. On your PC:

  • Open an FTP client like FileZilla, or just use a web browser.
  • Enter the FTP address provided by the app.
  • Log in if required.

5. Browse your Android device’s storage and transfer files as needed.
