How to transfer files using Wireless LAN (WLAN / hosted network)

Communicate is a process that transfer information from source or server to receiver across a media. This media called transmission media. There are two kinds of transmission media base of the material used. these are wire and wireless.

In a wire connection such as RJ-45, using this cable you have to connecting the sender and receiver using it. Range of transmission are will be as long as the wire, and also more wire needed to connect on multiple receiver or source. This is the primitive one but in some case will be effective one. And now we are commonly use wireless connection which have more efficiency and surely less cost. Using wireless connection will improve the range of transmission area based on gain level of source antenna, and receiver antenna. And other advantage also for some receivers just need to add more antenna and connect to same network.

Sharing is a type of communication, because it sending some datas and informations to receiver. In this tutorial i will talk about how to make a windows files sharing and transfer using a Wireless LAN.(WLAN).

You need to prepare a computer that support hosted network. Because we have to create an Ad Hoc connection first.

To check your hosted network is available yet, just type this command on cmd
netsh wlan show driver
and then see on that red square.

For how to create ad hoc or wireless lan connection click on this link  or you can use a simple apps to create hosted network

And next.. set up our network discovery.

Go to Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and sharing center - and click on change advance sharing settings

Set up in your computer as the following image (windows 10 other windows version can be a little different but exactly same)

Set up this setting on both receiver and sender computer, so it can be connected each other.

Next we should set the shared folder at sender computer.
Just right click on a folder - properties and ...

Click share

 click share

 just wait some minutes, depend on your folder size

DONE

see the folder now be shared

And now, from the receiver (should connect in same network with sender) go to windows explorer (press WIN + E) and click on network.

You will see your computer name and name of sender computer. Just click on sender computer and click on the folder. And last you are able to copy/cut and paste.
