Connection to Android tablet

[M Pitman]

I am collecting data from an ADC chip and saving the data to a file on the Beaglebone Black.  Currently the commands are sent through PuTTY on a PC using ssh and then sftp sends the file back which is manually loaded and displayed in a Qt program.  My desire is to be able to send a command to the Beaglebone directly from the Qt program on an Android tablet and have the Beaglebone send the resulting file back to the tablet.

Has anyone used Bluetooth (or any other means) to accomplish this type of behaviour and if so do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike Pitman

I ran Xserver on the tablet and did a remote display from the beaglebone over the USB networking. The same USB network connection can remotely mount file shares.
