Description: A simple local file server app for Android. Download and upload files quickly across devices over Wi-Fi — no cables, no cloud. Transfer makes sharing files across your local network incredibly straightforward. Think of it as a temporary USB stick you can access from any computer or device with a web browser — but without the physical stick, powered by a clean and simple UI. Basically, a better alternative to running uploadserver through Termux. The Problem It Solves Imagine you need to transfer a file between your laptop and desktop — but you just want to send the file and move on: - You don’t have a USB stick or cable handy - You don’t want to configure SMB (enable/run Samba, then download a client) - You don’t want to use the cloud — either because it’s slow, unprivate, or you simply don’t have easy access to it Key Features - Effortless LAN Sharing: Once Transfer is active, it serves files from your chosen shared folder over HTTP. Any device on the same Wi-Fi can connect using a simple web address shown in the app. - Configurable Security: - IP Permissions: By default, new devices attempting to connect trigger an "Allow/Deny" popup on your phone, giving you control over who accesses your files. This can be turned off for trusted networks. - Password Protection: For an added layer, you can secure access with a password (off by default). - Powerful CLI Access (curl-friendly): - Transfer works great with command-line tools. Upload files directly using curl -T yourfile.txt <your-phone-ip>:8000.Also,you can download files usingcurl <phone-ip>:8000/yourfile.txt. - Dual Browse UI: Manage and access your shared files directly within the Transfer app on your Android device, or through the intuitive web interface on any connected computer. - Quick In-App Transfers: - Upload: Easily select files from your phone’s storage to add them to the shared folder. - Paste: Paste text from your phone’s clipboard directly into a new .txt file in the shared folder with a single tap. Getting Started 1. Install and open Transfer on your Android device. 2. Grant necessary permissions and select a folder you wish to share (suggestion: create a new folder called Storage in your home directory). 3. Tap "Start Server." 4. The app will display an IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.X:8000). 5. Open this address in a web browser on any other device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. 6. You're in! If IP permissions are on (default), you'll get a prompt on your phone to allow the new device. It's designed to be that simple. Enjoy your new wireless drive.
