How to send file over wifi? (Solved)

[davids45]

G'day jss83 & Mike W.,

There definitely is (or was?) an android version of Dukto.

I use dukto to download/upload files between my phone and computer as and when they are both on my home network. Mostly photos taken on the phone.

I thought I downloaded a version from the Google Playstore or whatever it's called. But maybe it was from the dukto site?? It's been a few years since I set up dukto on everything here.

Hiya, David.

Well, I won't disbelieve you. The Sourceforge webpage only shows for Windoze, Mac and Linux:-

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dukto/ ... rce=navbar

...and Emanuele Colombo's blog page makes no mention of it either:-

http://www.msec.it/blog/?page_id=11

His 'official' packages are for Windoze, OSX, Linux & Symbian (the older Nokia OS). He also lists some ports for Blackberry, iPhones, and a few others.....but again, no mention of Android.

Any chance you can dig up the one you have for jss83?

@ jss83:-

A web search for 'Dukto for Android' does in fact give plenty of hits. This one'll do. Have a look here, and just hit the download buttons.

Dukto-6.5.5.apk for Android.

(AFAICT, this site is 100% safe; I've obtained quite a bit of stuff from here over the last few years, and it's always been trouble-free.)

Or, if you prefer to obtain it from the Google Play Store, it's here:-

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ukto&hl=en

I have to assume this will work; you can only try it. I've never had a smartphone (not in the slightest bit interested), and if I have my way, my next phone will be a 'dumb-phone', too..!

I have no interest at all in carting t'Internet around with me... (*shrug*) What can I say? I'm a dinosaur (and proud of it!!) I'd sooner do all this stuff sitting in a comfy chair, with a decent full-size screen, full-size keyboard, and mouse, rather than squinting at the tiny screens smart-phones possess.....

You can set up an ad hoc wireless network from Windows and connect to it from another wireless computer, laptop, etc.

There is a way to do wifi to wifi without a router, it's called wifi-direct or wifi-p2p.
You do need compatible wifi adaptors though.
