I have share-it software in windows O/S and android phone both. Using this software I can easily transfer my file over Wi-Fi.
Is there any software like share-it in Ubuntu 14.04, where I can transfer my file at android phone using wifi.

I have had similar problems with Ubuntu to Linux - using some of the tips here https://calomel.org/samba_optimize.html I managed to get up to 1.5MBps but it's still painful. This is using both WiFi and a HomePlug connection.
Until I started transferring files sized in gigs, this was (of course) never a problem!
Some mobile devices doesn't able to detect the hotspot created on ubuntu by default method.
Solution for this problem is to install ap-hotspot software on Ubuntu.
For Ubuntu 12.10,13.04,13.10
Run these commands to install ap-hotspot.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ap-hotspot
Run these commands to start and stop ap-hotspot.
sudo ap-hotspot start
sudo ap-hotspot stop
Run this command to configure ap-hotspot
sudo ap-hotspot configure
If it asks for WPA passphrase give a key with the minimum of 8 characters.

For Ubuntu 12.04
you can download the script from here.This script requires Hostapd 1.0 which was available by default in Ubuntu 12.10,13.04,13.10.
For Ubuntu 12.04,add these two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ppa/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ppa/ubuntu precise main
and save the file and run the below commands in terminal.

Using FTP
Here is another way to easily transfer files between your laptop and Android phone.
Prerequisite:
Procedure:
If both your Android and Ubuntu are connected to the same WiFi (same LAN), skip to step 3. Otherwise, create a WiFi hotspot on your Android:
Connect your laptop to this WiFi network.
Open ES File Explorer and open left-side menu.
Go to Network -> Remote Manager
Turn on the FTP Server and note down the IP:port address
Open Nautilus file explorer on Ubuntu. In connect to URL, type your phone's FTP server URL (from the previous step) and click on Connect
If you need, You can set user name and password in ES File Explorer. By default, It will be public (anonymous).
In your PC, click on Connect. You can use the username and password that you set in ES File Explorer and connect as registered user.
Now the internal memory of your phone is mounted. You can copy new files, remove files, do anything.
If you wish to mount your SD card, you can set that in ES File Explorer settings.
