    You need to provide more information than that. What protocol are you using to access the files? Http? FTP? SMB? What are you doing with the file once downloaded? Saving it? Viewing it? – Badams Mar 09 '13 at 14:01
  • @Badams I want to download it. Can't I just make an URL something like this: file://192.168.1.100/C:/path/file than download it like from the internet or I have to make a server? – user2151606 Mar 09 '13 at 18:12
  • Typically no. It depends how your computer with the IP 192.168.1.100 is setup. That might work if its setup as an SMB share. – Badams Mar 10 '13 at 01:54
  • @Badams file://192.168.1.100/C:/path/file I cannot just download it so easy. So I made a Windows shared folder and I want to somehow to access to it and save it to the phone. – user2151606 Mar 10 '13 at 22:57

A simple search found this:

Download a file with Android, and showing the progress in a ProgressDialog

Which seems to be what your looking for assuming your downloading over the HTTP protocol.

The problem with your question is the lack of information for someone to give you any sort of real help.
