I have an Android TV and an Apple computer at home, and I have always wanted to directly manage the files on the TV through the computer, such as screenshots and remotely pushed APK files, etc. Some files need to be deleted, and it is not convenient to operate on the TV. directly managed.
But I don’t know why, after enabling disk sharing for Android TV through the FTP sharing function of “Xiaobai File Manager” and “ES File Browser”, the Apple computer can access the files on the Android TV, but in read-only mode, you can I copied the above files into the computer, but I couldn't delete the files on the TV, nor could I write the files.
Later, I found two FTP file transfer tools for macOS, and I can finally read and write files on Android TV.
As long as you install FTP file transfer tools such as Transmit or ForkLift on the Apple computer , use the FTP shared address obtained from the TV to connect to the server through these tools, you can open the disk of the TV, access and manage it, and obtain read and write permissions.
This type of FTP file transfer tool can also synchronize folders in two locations, open a local folder and a folder on the FTP server at the same time (it can also be a local folder or a folder in the LAN), and can be set by setting Synchronize as required.
Some also support file sharing and transfer of SFTP, FTP TLS, WebDAV, WebDAV HTTPS, Amazon S3, Google Drive, SMB, AFP, NFS, VNC and other protocols.
I personally like the interface design of Transmit, but Transmit does not support preview images . As can be seen from the above picture, after opening the TV folder and clicking a picture in the folder, the Transmit interface cannot display a preview image, and you need to open the file to preview. ForkLift displays preview images and file information on the right side of the interface, which is more convenient, so ForkLift is recommended .
注意使用 FTP 共享需要保持服务处于启动状态，也就是说电视端的「小白文件管理器」或其他 FTP 工具需要保持运行状态并且启动电视机的磁盘共享，电脑端才可以进行访问和管理。所以在电视端通过「小白文件管理器」开启电视的磁盘共享后需要保持「小白文件管理器」在后台运行，这样电脑端就可以随时访问电视磁盘了。（或者你在有需要的时候再启动服务也可以）
