I am sorry if this is in the wrong place. Move this to the right place and leave a reply informing the same as well

 

 

I have to often give people large files. They give me USB drives that are usually infected. One Day, i was thinking about sending files over Wifi. It didn't work.

 

How do I transfer files from my Windows system to another MacOS or windows system wirelessly? (given that wireless works) I have a D-Link ADSL router, and I want to transfer data to people wirelessly without NO internet access. Can i send files to android files as well? Give me a solution that is free.

 

ALSO: If i can get more than 70 mbps under all circumstances, only then this is going to be worth it. Let me know if that's not possible at all times.

 

Important Info: 

The router has NO USB ports

if ur router supports usb connection with a hdd u can simply just connect a hdd to ur router put the files on there and take it from the network

 

or use network sharing feature in windows ect ^^

 

if that doesnt fix it u can always create ur own Local FTP server  or somthing ^^

You can create a network shared folder and have the other computers connect to it. There's instructions on how to do it at https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/191116/how-to-share-files-between-windows-mac-and-linux-pcs-on-a-network/amp/

 

Keeping the 70 Mbps speed however depends on the quality of the network, the speed the other devices are talking to it, and what kind of transfers you're doing.

Can i expect 70+ mbps transfer speed with an ADSL router or a cheap USB wifi router?

ADSL is an internet thing, not a local network thing.

 

If you want to come close to getting 70Mbps, you'll need at least 802.11n capable equipment.

Either set up a network share, or install a FTP server on your computer.  On Windows, Filezilla FTP Server is fairly easy to install, it takes less than 5-10 minutes to install and set up a basic user account.

 

Then all the other computers that want to download files from you and upload files to your computer can simply use a ftp client to connect to your ftp server (they just enter the ip or name of your computer). Filezilla FTP client (or other free ftp clients) are available on Windows and Macs and again, it's a 2-5 minute install, there's even browser add-ons or extensions that let you connect to ftp servers and retrieve or upload files from/to them.

I am pretty sure most people have an 802.11 b/g/n capable device, be it a phone or a laptop. Now the D-Link Router is already 802.11 b/g/n capable

1. what kind of people are you dealing with that you get so many infected usb drives.
2. use a linux machine or mac to serve the files - linux is not bullet proof, neither is mac OSX but the "usual" infectious stuff only targets windows so you'll be pretty safe.
3. setting up a network share accessible over wifi is probably too complicated to use for people with "usually infected" usb drives

1: The kind of people who are tech novice.

2: I don't know how to code AT ALL. Not even in HTML, because i am a mass communication student.

3: Is Filezilla complicated?

.. and what does that have to do with using linux to prevent a random infected usb stick from fucking up your whole computer?

probably not complicated to set up but very likely too complicated to use for people who don't know what antivirus software is
