Hello, today we’re going to see how we can send an APK to an Android TV.
I’m going to explain two methods, although I recommend the Second method.
First method
To do this, the first thing we need to do is install an app that allows us to open an FTP between the computer and the Android TV.
For this, we go to the app store and search for:
x-plore file manager
And we install it:
Now we open it and go to the FTP section: we activate it.
We can go to a web browser or the Filezilla program on our computer and enter the address that appears in ftp://….:2222
In Filezilla, click on Site Manager:
Add a new site:
And fill in the requested data:
Choose FTP – File Transfer Protocol
In Server, enter the IP of our Android TV (appears in the program in the FTP sharing section).
Add port 2222
And addthe default)
User: admin
Password: 123456
Accept the insecure local connection:
And now the file system appears where we can copy our APKs:
Note: This program has added this premium feature. Therefore, I will now mention another program that allows FTP transfer.
Second Method
Search for File Manager + (plus)
Once installed, open it and go to Remote Access.
Activate the service here. The FTP data will appear, and we enter them in Filezilla as before.
We can go to a web browser or the Filezilla program on our computer and enter the address that appears in ftp://….:2222
In Filezilla, click on Site Manager:
Add a new site:
And fill in the requested data:
Choose FTP – File Transfer Protocol
In Server, enter the IP of our Android TV (appears in the program in the FTP sharing section).
Add the port that appears on the TV screen.
And add the username and password that appear on the TV screen.
Accept the insecure local connection:
And now the file system appears where we can copy our APKs:
We can drag the APKs into the Download folder.
And now we can go to the program and install the sent APK:
