It's great that I can use something like Teamviewer or Connectbot to connect to my home PC and download a file (onto the PC) remotely, from anywhere in the world using my fast and (practically) unlimited home broadband.
What I'd like to then do is download that file onto my Nexus 7. And occasionally upload files. However, neither Connectbot nor Android Terminal Emulator have scp built in and, while Teamviewer claim that their latest version has the ability to transfer files, it hasn't appeared on the Play Store yet.
Does anyone know of any other relatively simple solution to this problem? By simple I mean that I don't want to set up the PC as an ftp server. The home PC runs Kubuntu 12.04, by the way.

I've been using ES for a couple of years now, including accessing other nodes on my network with Samba shares. How, precisely, will ES be useful in the above scenario?

Airdroid?
AirDroid won't work over the Internet, only on a local LAN. Or, at least, it won't work from the free WiFi access points that I use.

I've been using AirDroid for a while now. I've never used it via LAN, always via WIFI.

On your local area network or a public WiFi access point?

SCP client? Play Store should have a few of those.

Thanks for the suggestion. There are surprisingly few. But now I've had time to check them out I've found VX Connectbot which adds file upload and download plus other features to the original Connectbot.

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever figure out how to use SCP on VX Connectbot? It's surprisingly not documented well on the Net, on its homepage or on Github. This thread came up on Page 2 of a Google search!
No, I didn't get that far. I found that TeamViewer fitted my specific use case.

Hi All,
I searched a lot for solution that I will be able to help my dad with his nexus 4 .
I want to control his android from my pc .
Team viewer not working with nexus 4.
vnc server is not working properly on nexus 4.
Other solutions only connect on the same wifi or with USB.
I can't imagine that there is no solution for it ?
Can you help ?
Zvika
There's no way that I know of

With team viewer you can control your PC via your Android mobile but not the other way around....
You can use my phone Explorer if you're connected to the same WiFi.. I have used it to recover data from a relative's touch screen conked phone

I'm wondering if is possible to sideload an app like Tunnelbear to access servers in the UK? Netflix' movie catalog there is way better than the one in the US.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I was able to get OpenConnect working after sideloading the APK, I had to hook up a keyboard and mouse to get it set up the first time but after that I can now just click on 'Connect' using the remote and it works.
We will work on official Nexus Player VPN support once we received our unit, hopefully everything goes well.

Anyone?
I use Chromecast
I had the same concern, try the AllCast app found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast
If you mean miracast functionality then you need to modify the build.prop file to add wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
You then need to reboot and in the cast screen select theoptions buttin and tick the enable wireless display box
If your talking about mhl, or slimport, then your fresh out if luck I'm afraid

I already have a way to remote desktop to my PC from the shield tv, but I would like to be able to remote desktop into my shield TV from another device, like my pc, or smartphone. is this possible? Methods i've tried so far don't seem to work.
Also, im rooted.
There are VNC servers for Android. Give that a shot.
TeamViewer Host should work in theory. Maybe it requires a full version of Android?
With network debugging enabled I have been able to remote in to my shield using Vysor - a chrome extension. Works pretty well.

tried this numerous times, with and without root. teamviewer sees and connects to the shield but when actually trying to display the screen for remote desktop, nothing appears.

Will try this, which should work locally, and if so, thanks. But im curious on how to do this externally as well. (although just being able to do it from my local network should be enough)

On my Shield I can connect to Teamviewer Host, and I can bring up the desktop. When I try to mouse click on the desktop, the whole machine reboots (this is with root access).
I've got a dialog with Teamviewer support about this issue.

Thanks. sounds like you've gotten further than i have. I did get the screen to appear on my pc ONCE, and for a split second. ever since and before then, nothing. i dont even get the screen to pop up. ive tried everything i can think of. this was an issue with nexus player and fire tv devices as well. seems anything android tv-related operating systems won't play nice with teamviewer.

The response from Teamviewer is that the SATV is not currently supported, and that device support is added by popular demand.
So the more people who contact them, the better.
If you just would like to manage files on the Shield, AirDroid works pretty well. You need to sideload it to the Shield though.

I've got plenty of options for transferring files. Just want to remotely access the shield tv to play with things like settings and configuring stuff when im at my pc, or away from home, rather than having to wait till i get home all the time.

thanks for the heads up. I will contact teamviewer requesting shield tv support, and suggest anyone else visiting this thread to do the same.
if you google teamviewer and android tv, apparently they added support. it just seems to specific devices. i recall it not working right on my nexus player, and fire tv's either, so i dont know what "popular" android tv's teamviewer decides to support.

Hmm. Vysor does work over a LAN if you turn on ADB over TCP/IP. It might work over the Internet if you set up port forwarding, but it would have basically no security. Maybe an SSH tunnel would work?

Mobizen?
did you try mobizen? i was searching for something for my sony bravia android tv when i found this thread. Was trying some of your solutions. Mobizen used to work perfect for me on my android 4.4 box. Doesn't work on my Android TV though but perhaps for you guys it does. It's a great free app (and I'm not working for the guys)
kind regards
Subscribed. I tried droid VNC and it did not work. Also looking for a way to VNC into my nVidia Shield Android TV or any remote control (not just file transfer) that works locally or internet, I usually connect using OpenVPN to my home network...
Just for info.
Teamviewer on full Android Marshmallow for Shield TV works very well.

Does it autostart and its available 24/7 like VNC?
EDIT: Tried TeamViewer QuickSupport... GARBAGE, does not work. Anybody else have any advise as to what to install? I have my nVidia Shields unlocked bootloader, rooted and reaty to rock-n-roll...

Install the remodroid app from the play store on your phone and the shield TV, set the Shield TV to Stream and the phone to Connect and you are now able to remotely viw your Shild TV from your phone.
I have flashed the Full Marshmallow OS and am running Kodi, as an FYI.
