    There's a few other options other than Kies.

    Get Swiftp, setup your phone as an ftp server and then drag and drop it over wifi with the Filezilla client

    Or, if its a small file you could use dropbox and setup a sharing folder to sync, there's a dropbox app. You can then move the file after to another folder if need be

    Install Swiftp and go through the instructions, once setup with a username and password it will then give you the ip address you'll be connecting to when you start it, something like 192.168.1.x. Leave it on the default port 2121

    Then you install Filezilla on your pc, put in all the ftp details (username, password, given ip and port 2121) at the top and connect, You'll then be able to drag and drop the file onto your phone. Its probably best to drop the file onto the external sd.

    The dropbox method I'd only use for small files, pictures etc. as it uploads them to a server online and your phone would then download them from there

    If you share a folder on your desktop PC, then install this on the phone -

    https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

    Go to New > Scan and it will find the shared folder, you can then stream MP4 or copy and paste etc.
