Ever wanted to copy a file from your PC onto your phone, but don’t fancy the hassle of connecting via USB and fiddling around with a file manager?
If your phone supports wifi and you have a Windows XP machine, Miniserver could be just what you need.
Miniserver is - as its name might suggest - a mini webserver.
Install it on your PC and tell it the directories that you want to share and then simply use your phone’s wifi connection to browse to a specially-created web page where you can download files from the shared directory to your phone, or vice-versa.
As well as an XP PC you will need a working wifi router that both the PC and phone can connect to. The app will autodetect your PC’s network settings and tell you the address to which you need to point your phone’s browser.
Although the app can be configured to run automatically when your PC starts up, it doesn’t seem to have much in the way of security so I would recommend not sharing any sensitive files and only enabling it when you need to copy a file - at least until that version number climbs a little higher.
