PS3 FTP Via LAN Cable Directly To PC - Fast and Secure

FTP Setup Guide

Something i had some hassle myself setting up, thought I'd share it out to all the newbies.

Warning - This means if you use this ethernet port for your internet connection, you will loose your connection temporarily until you finish transfering and plug your router back in. This is best for those with 2 ethernet ports, or who use wireless or USB modems/routers.


Information

This guide will show you how to set up your PS3 to FTP directly with your pc via a LAN cable with no router inbetween and not allowing it to access the internet at the same time so Sony can't communicate with your PS3. A Crossover cable is not required, just a standard Cat5 or Cat6 Ethernet cable is needed.


Equipment

- PS3 [3.15/3.41/3.55 - jail-broken]
- FTP App [BlackBox FTP 1.2 recommended]
- Computer with Ethernet LAN Port
- FTP Client [FlashFXP, Filezilla]
- Ethernet Cable


Step 1 - Computer Setup

Windows 7

Go to "Control Panel" and under "Network and Internet" click "View network status and tasks" To open "Network and Sharing Center". On the left side panel click "Change adapter settings". Identify which device is the LAN port you will be using, right click on it and select "properties". Click on the item "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" then click the button "Properties". Click "Use the following IP address:" and "Use the following DNS server addresses:"

Windows XP

Go to the start menu and hover over "Connect to". Select "Show all connections". Identify which device is the LAN port you will be using, right click on it and select "properties". Click on the item "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" then click the button "Properties". Click "Use the following IP address:" and "Use the following DNS server addresses:"

Fill out the box so it appears as below:



Step 2 - PS3 Setup

Go to the settings tab on the XMB, then select "Network Settings" followed by "Internet Connection Settings". Push ok on the prompt and select "Custom", "Wired Connection", "Auto-Detect" then "Manual". Fill out the form as follows.

IP Address 10.1.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Defualt Router 10.1.1.0
Primary DNS 10.1.1.0
Secondary DNS 10.1.1.10

Select "Automatic", "Do Not Use" and "enable". Push X to save the settings. Test connection to verify you can acquire an IP Address. Internet Connection should fail.

Open your FTP Sever on your PS3. I prefer BlackB0x FTP 1.2, but you can use MultiMAN or other types if you wish. It should tell you your IP Address is 10.1.1.2 .


Step 3 - FTP

Open your FTP client and type in your PS3 IP (10.1.1.2) and make sure its on Port 21. IF you used a FTP server other than BlackB0x FTP 1.2, check if it needs credentials to work. Connect and begin transferring. Speeds should be very high as your connected directly to your PS3.

Any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

what does it mean when they say, "
"Transfer contents of USRDIR folder, EXCEPT EBOOT.BIN, to /devhdd0/game/BLES01047/USRDIR/"

I have never had that issue sorry. Try FlashFXP? IT has a 30 day trial.

but once i get this working can i download games like black ops straight to my ps3? theres a thread on it

You cant just download them and they will work, there is a method to do it. Read the actual thread on the front page and you will know what it is.

What would be the chances of having a set of instructions like this that would include a router so I don't have to make my computer incapable of accessing the internet every time I want to send a file to the ps3?

So if i am using a laptop at a hotel that is using wireless connection and i hook my laptop up to my ps3 with a cat 5 wire will this work still for me? Thanks!

[MadnessImport]

@LoneWolf2210 Yes im doing the same with my neighbors connection


I just got this up and running and anyone who reads this DO NOT give up on this method its 10x better than doing it Wireless when i did it wireless i was getting a speed of 552kbps to 700kbps if im lucky but since i used a direct connect i can keep all my internet speeds (Because the ps3 isn't connected to wifi)

Now im getting 17mbps transfer and rising (My E-cable is new too so it makes it better)
