Upload rar files to your PS3 without extracting them

[phillifix]

Hi there

I've written a quick script to upload the contents of huge rar files to a PS3 (or any FTP server for that matter) without having to extract them beforehand.

I've tested it with linux and OpenPS3FTP 1.4.

Note that the script will automatically set the proper file/folder permissions, no need to fix them in your backup manager.

Sample usage:

./rarupload.rb LargeBackup.rar ftp://root:openbox@192.168.1.19:/dev_hdd0/GAMES

or:

./rarupload.rb LargeBackup.rar -x "*/DE" -x '*/FR" "-x "*/ES" -x "*/IT" ftp://root:openbox@192.168.1.19:/dev_hdd0/GAMES

This one will skip the language specific folders "DE", "FR", "ES" and IT if you don't care about playing the game in one of those languages.

Replace 192.168.1.19 with your PS3's IP...

Also read the README file! (Especially for Windows and OSX users...)

Enjoy

Update: There's now an option to include/exclude specific files and folders. This is especially useful when you dont want to upload stuff for all languages, skip stereoscopic 3D, etc.

New version with loads of fixes and a new option to include/exclude specific files and folders. This is especially useful when you dont want to upload stuff for all languages, skip stereoscopic 3D, etc.

For example: ./rarupload.rb LargeBackup.rar -x "*/DE" -x '*/FR" "-x "*/ES" -x "*/IT" ftp://root:openbox@192.168.1.19:/dev_hdd0/GAMES

Will skip the language specific folders "DE", "FR", "ES" and IT if you don't care about playing the game in one of those languages.

Check out the README for more examples.
