Need help with wifi transfer plugin: how to connect?

Post by *kodepr »

Hello,

I want to send some files from my laptop to my android.
I installed the wifi transfer plugin on android.
I also installed the webdav plugin on windows total commander version

But I need some help getting them connected:
- If I try from windows first, I do the following:
1) click on network neighbourhoud > click on webdav > F7 > a dialog "connect to webdav" appears, but I have no clue what to choose here or how to proceed ...
2) click on network neighbourhoud > click on webdav > click _QR-Code > webcam pops up, but I wouldn't know how to get my android to show a QR-code so here as well I don't know how to proceed ...

- If I try from Android first, I do the following:
go to home in TC Android > click Wifitransfer > click OK in dialog with explanation > then I get stuck again, because:
1) I either have to scan a QR-code, but I wouldn't know how to get my laptop to show a QR-code
2) or I have to enter a URL, but I wouldn't know which one.

Please help me out.

Edit:
FYI, I want to do this while both laptop and Android are on my home network
I'm currently using Total Commander Version 10.00 64bit

You need to share some folders on the Android side to start the WebDAV server. This will show both a QR-code and URL, either can then be used on the PC side to connect.

1. Select some folders in TC for Android
2. Tap on the copy button, the second from the left in the lower toolbar
3. Tap on "via WiFi"
