Useful when need to quickly copy something from a laptop to phone.

Make sure to use this only in your trusted local network, never use this method when connected to an insecure WiFi hotspot.

The directory contents and the data being transferred using this method are not encrypted and can be seen by anyone connected to the same WiFi hotspot.
