Certainly

as it says Virtual cable, all you do is start the app and enter the IP address of your computer, make
sure the firewall is open on the port requested by the app. The instructions are with Virtual cable.
Then once thats done you connect with FTP wirelessly.

If you have a wireless router that the computer is connected to use the address assigned by the router
DCHP.
If you are remote and want to move a file between the phone and PC, you will need to port forward on the
router pointing at the requested port.

It works very well and its quick.

So if you are at home/office with a wireless router connect your phone with WIFI.

phone > wifi to wireless router >computer.

if you are away from home the route to your computer is 

phone > cell switch>cellnetwork> your broadband ISP>router > computer

NO CABLE CONNECTION NEEDED
