    I saw so many Apps on the AppStore, also got iPen Drive & a few more(For FREE ofcourse :p)
    But I am looking for a file transfer app from one iPod touch to another using WiFi

    It'd be great if it is not limited to any file extension / size
    Also, uploading / any file to the iPod possible with the cable / wifi / iTunes's file sharing should be awesome, I don't mind paying for an app like this, I'll on my friend to get it too ;) After all, he is the one who wants stuff from me :)

    So TAers, Please throw some light on an app like this one!
    Thanks in Advance

    For wifi file sharing between your device and a computer you can jailbreak and install OpenSSH.

    To put files onto your device using a standard sync cord to your computer, download iPhone Explorer and just drag and drop the files onto your device, then use iPhone explorer on a different computer to get them off and delete them. Useful for when you need to transfer gigabytes of files between desktops and you don't have any flash drives big enough. I don't know how to wirelessly transfer between devices, though.

    I don't think you can do that. Maybe there's a jailbroken Bluetooth solution, but I'm not aware of one.

    I'm certain someone has figured it out, but I'm pretty sure there's no easy method, especially non jb.

    iBlueNova if you're jailbroken, but I don't think the OP is.

    Just get an app that can access Dropbox. Apply for the free Dropbox account and use that to transfer between the devices.

    Thank you all for your responses!
    I think I missed out on stressing on what I want!

    I want an app to share stuff between 2 iDevices through WiFi

    Am Not jb-ing soon enough, I have readdle docs (Which I snagged the day it went FREE :D) I'd prefer a wired transfer of the files from the comp., Most of these Air-Share apps do have wi-fi.

    The app you are searching is Mover+.
    It has BT and WiFi sharing.
    I have it and works great(both iDevices must have it)!
    The weird about this app is that it is also on Cydia and Appstore... :p

    You could also use iFiles.It's a file explorer that can browse local folders,connect to cloud storage and many more.
    Also has BT/WiFi sharing and supports iTunes file transfer.

    I don't really understand what your after, other than file sharing...

    So use dropbox. It has 2GB storage free and you can buy up to 50GB if you want. App is also free.
