How to Transfer files between your Android device and PC using Wi-Fi

0 comments
Find out how to transfer files between your PC and Android tablet with the WiFi File Transfer application. 
You can transfer files from any machine (if it's on the same network). You can transfer from multiple machines and do so with the ease of a very well designed web-based interface.



Features

Here are some features that you'll find with WiFi File Transfer:
  • Upload or download multiple files at once
  • Upload entire folder structures (Google Chrome only)
  • Delete, rename, copy, zip, or unzip files
  • Password authentication
  • Shortcuts to photo, video, and music directories
  • Runs as a background service
  • View photos directly in your web browser
  • Autostart service when connected to home network (optional)
  • Access to external SD cards and USB storage devices
  • Supports hotspot mode

There are two version of the app: Free and Pro for $1.40 (USD). The only limitation of the free version is that you can't upload files larger than 5MB.
But you can Download WiFi File Transfer Pro for Free in our site.


Installation

As with any Android application, WiFi File Transfer can be installed with these simple steps:
  1. Open the Google Play Store
  2. Search for "wifi file" (no quotes)
  3. Tap on the WiFi File Transfer entry (or the Pro version if you know that you want to purchase the software)
  4. Tap on the Install button
  5. Tap Accept
Once the installation is complete, you'll find the application in your app drawer (you might also find a launcher on the home screen). Tap the icon to begin using the application.

Usage

As I already mentioned, you must first make sure your device is connected to the same wireless network as the desktop machine(s) you wish to transfer files to/from. Once you have that taken care of, open the WiFi File Transfer tool and tap the Start button (Figure A) to start the file transferring service. Figure A

Once you tap the Start button, you'll be given the IP address and port that will allow you to connect through your desktop browser. Point any browser to this address:port combination (if the browser is on the same network as the wireless device), and you'll see the following handy web interface (Figure B). Figure B

The interface is set up with four main sections:
  • File browser: Where you can navigate your device file structure and download files
  • Media gallery: Where you can view a thumbnail gallery of your device's images
  • Device information: Get storage information of the device at a glance
  • Transfer files: Where you can transfer files and folders (Chrome only) to the device
To transfer a file to your device, follow these steps:
  1. Point your browser to the WiFi File Transfer web page
  2. Click the Select Files button under Transfer files to device
  3. In the file manager, locate the file to be uploaded and click Open
  4. Click Start upload from the main window
  5. Allow the upload to complete
To download files from your device, do the following:
  1. In the file browser, navigate to the location of the file
  2. Select the file(s) to be downloaded (Figure C)
  3. Click the Download button
  4. Select to download the files individually or as a zipped archive
  5. Allow the download to complete
Figure C
You can download as many files as you need.
If you want to download media, you can quickly download from the thumbnail gallery. Here's how:
  1. Click on the Media gallery tab
  2. Navigate to the file you want to download
  3. Click on the Download link (Figure D)
Figure D
You can also just view the file in the gallery by clicking the thumbnail image or the file name.

Password protection

Once your Android tablet is on the network, anyone who knows the password could add or remove files to that tablet -- but not if you password protect the WiFi File Transfer application. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Open the application
  2. Tap the Settings button
  3. Tap Access Password
  4. Enter a password to be used
  5. Tap OK
Now, when anyone points their browser to that address:port, they'll have to enter the password to gain access.
If you're looking for one of the best ways to transfer files to and from your Android tablet, look no further than WiFi File Transfer. Not only does it allow you to easily gain access to the files/folders on your tablet, it offers the simplicity of a web browser for the process of transferring that information.

How to Avoid Phishing Attacks and Protect your Passwords Online

0 comments
Many times we receive an email saying" you have won 10000$!" or you receive a text message on your phone which says " your number won in the lucky draw contest!" Many of us believe it and so we do everything they ask us to do, like giving away passwords and bank account numbers. But by the time we get to know that our passwords have been hacked, it is too late. This serious problem is termed as "phishing" which cyber criminals use to attack common  users.

What is Phishing?

phishing
Phishing is a technique used by the cyber criminals who try to steal your important and private information by pretending to be someone or something you trust. For example, you get an email which seems to have been sent by your bank  asking for your account details, but in fact it is indeed sent by a phishing expert. Though the email seems very real, it is actually sent by a cyber criminal to steal your account passwords. Phishing techniques have become extremely dangerous and sophisticated these days, since they accurately replicate the legitimate trusted source. For example, they will have a real logo, will use the same font and will seem to come from a real email address.


Typical forms of phishing attacks:

1.Account upgrade, system maintenance, software crash or some other mundane reason.
2. Sms text message that seems as if your bank or relative or friend is trying to get in touch with you.
3. Instant message asking you for confidential information.
4.Private message on Facebook containing a link that may take you to a page that looks like a log-in screen for facebook, but actually is a fake log-in screen.

fb+phish

Here in the picture you can see a Facebook phishing attack. Check the URL bar, it is not the Facebook.com

There are a few simple things you can keep in mind in order to avoid the phishing attacks:
  • Your bank or credit card company shall never ask for your password under any circumstances.
  •  If the email you have received contains a link, do not blindly click on it. It can be a fake link which may lead you to a fake log-in screen or executes some other phishing attack. Before you click on the link, you can find out where it is going to take you by holding your mouse over it for a few seconds and looking at the status bar of your browser.Below one is example of phishing.

PayPalPhishing.

  • You may receive an email with a link which looks real. Even if you hover your mouse over it, it replicates a trusted website. For example, Look at the following web address- https://www.facebook.com@www.abs123.com . At first glance this may look like the facebook link, but in reality it will direct you to a completely different address which begins separately after the @sign.

facebook-phishing-email

  • Always check for "https" in the url address bar of your browser, before you enter any confidential information on website. Typically, only trust worthy websites use "https" and phishing websites use "http".
  • Make sure that you read the url address properly. Watch out for websites with spellings that are similar to the actual website. "online.citibenk.com" instead of "online.citybank.com". Cyber criminals are known to register website domain names with a spelling similar to a trusted website.
  • A simple way to detect a phishing email is, you can carefully look for your full name mentioned in the email. Usually, the cyber criminal doesn't know your full name and may contact you by referring you with Sir, or your email address.
  • Most popular browsers like google chromemozilla firefox maintain a list of known phishing webistes and warn you when you are about to visit any phishing website that appears in their database.

  • If you receive a link and are not sure whether it is safe to click on it or not, you can however check if it is a phishing attach by submitting the website address to a site called PhishTank. This website maintains a comprehensive list of known phishing websites and provides a quick review if the website is trust worthy or not.

phishtankwebpage
  • As you can see, the webpage of Phish Tank provides a bar, to specify any suspected link in it and checks for it. If you sign in or register with the website, you can submit any phishing link to the website and soon it updates the fake link. 
sample+url
  • Here, I have given a link in the bar, to check if it s a phishing attack. We click on the IS IT A PHISH button.

phish+detected
  • Phishtank has detected the link as a phish. It also provides a rating for 100%. If it is more than 50% you should not enter into the link.


Other solutions:

There are commercial anti-phishing software tools available that provides you protection against phishing attacks. For example McAfee's SiteAdvisor Live is a product that allows you to identify and protect yourself from risky websites. You can buy it online from its website.
mcafee
Most importantly, if you have never opened an account with a particular bank and they email you, then it probably is a phishing attack. No matter how tempting their offer might be, do not click on any of their links.

Just keep these simple steps in mind and so you can avoid phishing attacks.
