tried the pc client and the app for my Droid X2, the phone could not see pc and vice versa. Could not see any multicast options on my Arris cable modem, I assume it is not compatible.
Hmmm....if only it was possible to send files to multiple devices at the same time.

+1 on this, and also when sending on phone directly from the app, it will be nice to be able to select a single file or a complete folder (cuz i can only select a folder)
a minor inconvenient, but most PPL have our PC connected to wifi, so no big deal.
I have win7 32 bits and worked totally fine, without doing any thing else.
ptrics;23658367... a minor inconvenient said:Well that's my point. The app does not cause delay and uses the full resources that are available to it. Other apps I've used have delays in the file transfer beyond any limit of available resources. Basically I'm saying this is the fastest and best I've ever used, and exactly what I always wanted
yea, I know, but it'll be OK if I could do it from the app, but even like this, this is a must have app

I'm quite busy at the moment, so I can't tell when I will find time for enhancements.
Thanks for the info.
What we have now is much better than we had before this app came along. I think we can all survive just fine till you have time
.
This app is amazing! I have been using it since it was a featured article on XDA. I se it almost daily to transfer files wirelessly. I love it so much! No problems! Just needs some GUI options and what not. XD
Great thing is that the desktop program can be used for PC to PC transfers too. I use this app and the desktop program for all my various file transfers, to and from whatever.

Whilst running either the stock Froyo or a lot of MIUI Gingerbread ROMs on my Motorola Defy, X-link has always worked fine for exchanging files between it and my Win7 64-bit notebook, but since I flashed eppy's ICS 07.05 build on my phone, my notebook can't detect my it anymore. Hope you get some time to keep it up.
Thanks, anyway.

40The app I would like to present is called X-Link and is intended to make file transfers between devices (Android or PC) easy.
It's using multicasts to find other clients within the same WiFi network.
So no setup ist needed.
In addition to the Android app there is also a Java based PC client available.
This client has been tested on Linux and Windows but might work on other configurations.
The full description and a short video can be found on the Android Market page:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.fun2code.android.xlink
You can not only transfer files between PC and Android but also between Android devices.
This is beta software, so there are still bugs.
Please report them in this thread. I'll have a look as soon as I find time and will contact some of you to get things fixed.
There are surely some timing (and timeout) problems which need some attention.
Make sure your router supports multicasts.
Please post comments, I'll try to read them all
Link to PC client
http://www.fun2code.de/downloads/xlink/XLinkClient.jar
Copying of directories
Supported since 0.8.4 beta.
Testing and how you can help
Multicast test
To test if your network is able to deal with multicast messages you can do the following test:
1. Download the file MulticastSender.jar and MulticastReceiver.jar.
2. On one PC start the MulticastSender.jar and on another the MulticastReceiver.jar.
The sender sends screenshots. If you see the screenshots on the receiver's side, multicasts are working for you.
If not, X-Link will not work.
If this works but X-Link doesn't it's likely that there is a problem concerning timeouts within X-Link.
In this case, please send me a mail (xlink [at] fun2code.de).
If sharing on Android does not work
Sharing does not seem to be working in some apps.
If you encounter such a problem, please download the app XLinkDebug.apk and install it.
Use sharing as you normally would with X-Link but select X-Link Debug instead.
On execution the app will copy the information needed for me to fix the issue to the clipboard.
Please paste the clipboard into a mail ans send it to the following address: xlink [at] fun2code.de2Thanks to all of you for testing!
The X-Link app has to be active on the Android device to be visible to others and for the transfer to work.
If you close the app during data transfer, the transfer will break.
I'm glad that it worked for some of you. I'll do some debugging next week.
Hope things will improve...1For does of you having problems seeing other devices.
You can do the following test.
Run the PC client from console: java -jar XLinkClient.jar
Then try to detect you PC from the Android device.
You should see an output similar to this on the console:
Connecting: 192.168.0.198/4500
If an Exception occurs there was a problem when connecting back to the Android device.
If no output is visible, it's likely that multicasts are not working within your network.1
With X-Link on/running on both phone and PC, just share a file from your phone (via whatever file manager you use).
