I have to admit, I've never been able to get host: to work either.

[retro]

for host:
first load ps2ftp in launchelf (/misc/)
then browse into host in filebrowser.
u just see a empty dir.
the go back one step.

on pc, start ps2 client with following string.
c:\ps2client.exe -h 192.168.0.10 listen
(start->run)

If u run ps2 client from other dir and have other ip, edit the string.
then on ps2 enter host again.
now u see the dir that ps2 client were runned from.

I get the theory (it's a little different as I'm normally running uLE from ps2client to start with), but it just doesn't seem to work (although ftp works fine). I'll try it with the real uLE at some point rather than my own build in case it's something I've broken.

After another quick look at the source, my version seems to never call load_ps2netfs, which doesn't seem right to me, so maybe I have accidentally modified it.

ok i will try retro and give you an answer is it ok or not thx.

:banghead:

retro it works great fantastic.

now i have the other Problem with the mass and the usbd.irx which Version of
that and where´s the position to do it.

[KallaiR]

is it faster than the execftps or it's about the same?

[Experiment1106]

is faster at my machine and its very good and stable.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, uLE uses it's own slightly modified usb driver, which means you don't have to put any version of usbd.irx anywhere, it should just work.

It should be the same, it's virtually the same code (with some fixes by E P and Dlanor).

That depends on the protocol used.

With FTP you do the manual work on your PC, there seeing the PS2 files.
With host: you do the manual work on your PS2, there seeing the PC files.

FTP requires (obviously) an FTP client with non-passive mode on the PC, and you must start the FTP server by pressing a controller key for MISC/PS2Net.

host: requires either ps2client.exe or RadHostClient.exe on the PC, and you start the PS2-side access simply by browsing to the host: device in the LaunchELF file browser. The first time you do that it will NOT connect, but will simply activate the interface (partly similar to MISC/PS2Net) and then timeout to an empty dir listing. Just exit to the previous screen again. Next you start the PC-side program (one of the two mentioned above), and again browse to the host: device in LaunchELF, at which the connection is established so you can browse files on the PC. Note that this access is READ-ONLY, for safety reasons. You can never lose data on your PC because of host: access from LaunchELF.

Can you fix it so that starting MISC/PS2Net also does this first step?

I to am having trouble with MASS. I can get it to work on the last official version of LE. But now using this newest unoficial version, I can no longer get it to read my USB flash drive.

Does anyone know why this might be? If so is there something I can do to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

I finally got :host working for the first time last night. Turned out it was getting my SYS CONF/config.dat from my HD (the default 192.xxx) instead of the one for my router on my memory card. I made sure I deleted all other SYS CONF/config.dat, and installed the new one on my HD, and it worked....stupid me!
