Are you running windows or Linux on your Computer.
On Linux you plug in the phone through a usb port, then pretty much drag and drop files. Should be the same for windows.

I use Airdroid. Have your phone and PC on the same network, launch airdroid. Go to web.airdroid.com on your PC, scan the QR code that comes up and it'll automatically connect your PC and phone through your home network and boom goes the dynamite. It takes a bit of playing around to get used to it, but it's quite handy.

I'm a Linux user and for wireless transfer (sometimes I use USB), I use sftp.

If I want to access the PC's files from the Android, I use ES File Explorer. The PC needs to be running sshd.

An alternative wireless method to this would be to run samba on the Linux PC. Again, files would be accessible via something like ES File Explorer. They would also be available to Windows PCs on the network.

If I want to access Android files from the PC, I can run a ssh server (currently ssh Droid) on the Android. I use the Dolphin file browser on the PC.
