3. Open ES File Explorer on the Fire device and navigate to Network -> Remote Manager on the sidebar.
4. Enable Remote Manager and make sure it gives an IP address for the FTP server.
5. Enter the FTP server IP address from Remote Manager into the FTP client on the computer system. It may work best if the Fire device and the computer system are on the same network.

7. Disable the Remote Manager in the Fire device after the transfer is complete.
