Send files to TV

Send Files to TV is a practical file-transfer tool designed to move content between devices with less hassle. It combines a lightweight setup with a strong set of transfer options, helping users handle everyday sharing tasks more easily. You get an easy-to-understand interface, the ability to transfer privately within your local network (no internet needed), and cross-platform support across phones, smart TVs, and computers. The app also includes flexible, customizable transfer settings to make sharing smoother.

Highlighted Features

Local private transfers (no internet required)

Send files to your TV over local Wi‑Fi or a wired LAN. You can send or receive files without connecting to the internet. This keeps transfers inside your local network and is typically faster than Bluetooth—especially for large videos and batch transfers of multiple items.

Works across phones, TVs, and computers

SFTTV runs on:

• Android phones and tablets
• Android TV and Google TV
• Desktop systems (with companion apps)

You can also install the desktop companion on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Install SFTTV on both devices (for example, your phone and computer) to transfer files between them.

Automatic device discovery and quick sending

When both devices are connected to the same network and the app is open, Send Files to TV will automatically show available target devices. Choose the device you want, confirm, and the app handles the connection and transfer steps automatically.

Supports many file types and multi-select

You can send videos, photos, music, APK files, and documents. The app allows selecting multiple files at once.

If you want to share an entire folder, the app doesn’t send folders directly by default. Instead, you can:

• Compress the folder into a ZIP file, then send the ZIP
• Or select all files inside the folder and send them together

Helpful Tips

• For automatic discovery, both devices must have SFTTV installed and enabled.
• They must be connected to the same Wi‑Fi or LAN. Devices on isolated guest networks won’t be discovered.
• If you’re transferring using a PC, make sure your firewall allows local traffic for SFTTV. Also consider temporarily turning off any VPN that may block discovery.

Change or find the receiving folder on your TV:

• Open SFTTV on your TV.
• Go to Settings.



• Select Receiving Folder to view or choose a new storage path.

Choose where files are saved on your phone:

• Open SFTTV on your mobile device.
• Tap Settings.
• Tap Save Location to pick where incoming files should be stored.

Moving a full directory: since direct folder sending isn’t supported, compress the folder into a ZIP before sending, or select all files in the folder. This helps keep the structure when you unzip the ZIP on your TV or computer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does sending files to a TV require an internet connection?

No. Send Files to TV uses local Wi‑Fi or LAN, so you don’t need an internet connection. Just make sure both devices are on the same network and the app is running.

Why doesn’t my device show up in the Send Files to TV list?

The most common causes are:

• The devices are not on the same network
• The app is not open on one of the devices
• A VPN or firewall is blocking discovery

Confirm both devices are running SFTTV and connected to the same router. Then temporarily disable your VPN or allow SFTTV through your PC firewall.
