Default 'Seeing' Android phone from Windows PC

Having adopted my son's Samsung phone, I'm having a play. This is my
first android type phone (I thought my last mobile was sophisticated
because it took photos as well as made phone calls), which is now
connected to the home network. Phone is running Android 4.4.4 The phone
is S3, I think.

Having installed ES File Explorer on the phone, I can see shared files
on my Netbook, using the phone. What I can't see is the phone from the
Netbook. Should I be able to? I perhaps naively assumed the phone would
appear on the Netbook (W98), but there must be a setting I am missing
within the phone. Whatever it is, I can't find. Any clues?


I can see the shared folders on my W7 computer from my Android Moto G
phone when running ES File Explorer - but not the other way round.

In order to see files on the phone from the PC, I have to physically
connect them via USB. The phone then appears as an external drive on the PC.

Can't guarantee this will work on W98 though!
