WiFi Direct File Transfer is an open source application that will enable sharing of data between Android devices running Android 4.0 or higher using a WiFi direct connection without the use of a separate WiFi access point.This will enable data transfer between devices without relying on any existing network infrastructure. This application is intended to provide a much higher speed alternative to Bluetooth file transfer. Copyright (C) 2012 Teja R.

If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/> Known Issues: *A client can only begin a file transfer if it is not the P2P group owner. If the client is the P2P owner, it cannot open a TCP socket since the Android WiFi direct API does not provide a mechanism to retrieve the InetAddress (IP address) of any peer other than the P2P group owner. This issue can be resolved upon finding a means to determine the IP address of any given peer in the P2P group. *Every incoming WiFi direct requires explicit user authorization. This seems to be a limitation on the Android WiFi direct API which does not allow programmatic means of accepting incoming WiFi direct connection requests. *Transferred files do not match the original files name or extension. *Scanning for WiFi direct peers sometimes causes random reboots on the Galaxy S2. This is not an issue on the Nexus 7. It is unclearif this is caused by a fault in the program or if it is specific to the device. *Scanning for WiFi peers randomly takes an unusually long time. *The server service cannot be shut off via the stop server button. Upcoming Updates: *Fix known issues. *Add progress bar for downloads. *Revamped GUI. *Support for file sharing with more than 1 peer.
