's built in file manager can be used to copy files from a network file share (such as SMB/Windows sharing) to the userdata folder.

 * 2) Go to the File Manager in . For the default skin, Confluence, highlight the "System" tab and then select the submenu "File manager" option.
 * 3) Add the file share as a source in the "A" window, then navigate to where the keymap file is.
 * 4) In the "B" window go do the Profile directory which will be the userdata folder, then open the keymaps folder.
 * 5) Highlight the keymap file from the "A" window, then press menu, and then select copy. This will copy the selected keymap to the Fire TV's userdata folder.
