[orelzor]

ive been reading here somewhere that for ftp server user dont must connect ps3 to router\internet, but you can connect it just to computer,
i have: PS3+jailbreak, lan cable but + ftp blackbox installed, but i didnt understand how i can connect the ps3 to computer, just to the back of computer or what? i will be happy for a good guide and sorry for the noob question, i dont know much about ps3-scene and stuff

Get Filezilla FTP Client, enter your PS3's IP address, enter port 21, and hit connect. Should work like that.

this one i understand, but i didnt understand where i suppose to put the lan cable, should i do the lan cable from the ps3 to the back of computers, or from ps3 to wan, or from ps3 to modem?

You can plug the cable directly between the PC and the PS3, but you'll have to set up a static IP on both. The easiest thing is to just connect both to a router and let it assign the IPs.

get a switch connect it with ethernet cable
get 2 network cables connect one end of them to the switch the other ends to ps3 and pc

or use wireless connection and connect the ps3 and pc with netwok cable

To my knowledge, Sony has never included the ability to auto-push firmware in its previous firmwares. While they may add it to new versions to combat this jailbreaking movement, I don't believe they can do it with older machines. I've had mine connected to the internet for weeks with no ill effects. If you're still worried, simply unplug your WAN connection/phone line/cable line/however your connection is wired to the outside world while you're doing FTP transfers.

so let me understand right, i should get out the WAN cable, and connect the ps3 lan cable to the wan conection, or to the normal router connection?
thanks again!

WAN is only for your outbound Internet connection (i.e. modem). Connect the PS3 to a regular port.
