Wi-Fi Direct problems with sharing?

Hi I need help connecting my Xperia SP with a Samsung Galaxy SII Plus using WI-FI Direct.
Both connect easily but when I send a small picture file using the Galaxy it fails after about 30 SEC's of trying. The reason given "Xperia!!!! File sharing not available" .
Sending a file from the Xperia to the Galaxy. The only sharing option using WI-FI Direct is "Officesuite WI-FI Direct" which seems to work OK.
It recognizes the Galaxy and when I press it, it sends but fails immediately no reason given. I think the problem is with the Xperia setup. It's not set up for sharing.
I have tried selecting Settings>more>Media server settings>Share content. Which ends up saying "Your content are published to the DIRECT-QQ-Android_!!! network." This is the correct connection.
But nothing changes still no luck. Both phones are running 4.1.2.
I tried this because I read the WI-FI Direct is faster, easier and more reliable than Bluetooth.
Any help would be much appreciated.
