copying game internal to usb external via PS3 FTP SERVER/FLASH FXP possible?

**wakkaday** · 11-19-2010,08:16 AM

hey guys i have about 10 games on my internal ps3 drive. i want to transfer them back to my external drive.

i thought it would be quicker doing it via the ps3 ftp server / flash fxp. i managed to connect successfully, and i believe i went to the right directory HDD0 / games ...but the file sizes are really small and numbered (instead of the title of games)

im not sure if im in the right directory i tried browsing around, but i dont have access or some directories won't open...

at the moment i am transferring 1 game at a time via gaia manager to my usb external drive?

is this the only way?

thanks

I think you can do that with multiMan's File Manager. No ftp need for it.

ive tried that, the size of the files seem to be small (and they are listed as blue03093 or something?)

What kind of games are you trying to transfer? PSN or backups?
Only PSN games and Game Data is stored in HDD0 /games.
Backups are probably stored in HDD0/GAMEZ
