You can't.
For the very good reason that if you could, so could everyone else, and security would go right out the window.

A program "like teamviewer" always has two components, a server and a client.

The client
- displays the remote computer's UI in a window and
- transfers user interactions there.

The server
- runs on the remote machine,
- executes the user interactions it receives from the client and
- transfers UI changes to the client

Since you have to provide the server software anyways, you're free to make it comunicate in every imaginable way with the client. There's no need to get the client to "somehow" read the remote computer's file system. That is done by the server.
