How to copy a file from Android to PC using WM21 & WiFi?

Hi All!

I would like to make a small WM app for an Android phone to take a photo and then save it to a certain directory in a nearby PC (Windows XP - 10), both being in the same WiFi, something like:

//The PC's directory name is in a parameter file in the WM
//launch the camera
//take the photo
//ask for the name of the photo
//save the photo and copy it to a directory in the PC
//Ask for more photos or end the app

Is this possible with WM21? I haven't got much experience with WM, so would appreciate some guidelines and hints.

Best regards
Ola

Hi Ola my fellow developer

well maybe you can share the picture via bluetooth to the PC more like WiFi or you could upload the photo to a FTP on a server and then Downloaded on your PC app.

That's the way I know to share some photo to a PC

best regards

if you develop app for N-user then the easiest method will be write to picture folder . this way user will able to see the images once connect android device to PC .

others method will be upload to cloud (ex. google drive)

Thank you for the suggestions.
@ccc2: This seems to be near what I am looking for. Is it possible to just copy files from Mobile to PC, when connected?

Hi. Depending on your requirements, FTP may be a simple and quick method to use.

A more elaborate option could be to use sockets, create a server application that controls access on the PC, and a WM client application that sends the information to it. It's not complicated.

Hi
Definitely FTP option is a very good solution to your problem, I had a similar problem so I solved it this way
