Download Free [Request] Looking to find a wireless file transfer or android remote (VNC) app that works when using Wifi Tether Router

I downloaded a wifi transfer app and it seems it only works when the android device is connected to a wifi network, not when it is actually the router. Anyone have any ideas? I would like to either transfer files or control my android device while I'm tethering from my laptop.
