Hi Catherine
TeamViewer only works with a visual effect that is to day your screen reader
will not read what is at the other end. Only the Remote Functions in Jaws,
and now possibly Windows Eyes 7.5 allow this and you would need the Jaws Pro
version.
Someone with a bit more knowledge might be able to help with regard to
setting up some sort of ftp type scenario which you could browse through
Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Subject: [access-uk] Team Viewer and a screen reader
Hi,
An organisation I do some work for are talking about me having a log in so
that I can look at files available on their server. They use Team Viewer.
The only experience I have of Team Viewer is whe I run it to allow a sighted
person to help me with visual problems on my computer - I haven't so far
used it to connect to other people's machines.
I struggle to understand how this could work with a screen reader, though
this organisation thinks it should work. As far as I understand it Team
Viewer provides a view of the remote machine's screen and allows the user to
interact with it and control the remote machine. I can't conceptualise how
this would work in an accessible way for a screen reader.
Has anyone any experience of Team Viewer and a screen reader? Can it be
done?
I also don't really understand why/how Team View is used to access files
anyway - why not just download them? That's probably a question for the
organisation, not here but any thoughts welcome.
Catherine
