        as long as your pi is connected to wifi it should be fine. Then you need es file explorer on your phone and if you go to network and then scan, it should show up as retropie, or something similar and you go into that.

        If you have to put the settings in manually, see below from the wiki on transferring roms... same rules should apply for copying videos...

        Protocol: SFTP.
        IP address: To find the IP address of your RetroPie, go into RetroPie options from the main menu, and select the last option Show IP address . ...
        Username: pi (default)
        Password: raspberry (default)
