Homebrew - PS3FTP Released - Made With PSL1GHT

[Maniakc]

The first legal PS3 ftp server has arrived, courtesy of stoneMcClane, whom released it exclusively at first via the PS3HAX Network forums!

The previous FTP servers for PS3 used the leaked Sony SDK. However, PS3FTP is totally coded with AerialX's PSL1GHT Open SDK, making it completely legal!

A minimal PlayStation3 FTP server written with the help of PSL1GHT - Lightweight PS3 Homebrew SDK

1) To start the FTP server, just run the PS3-FTP.self via ps3load/wiiload or install the PS3-FTP.pkg and run it directly from the XMB on your PS3.

2) Configure your FTP Client to use passive mode and only one FTP connection at a time.

3) Connect to your PS3's IP on port 21 with an FTP client of your choice. If you don't know the IP address of your PS3, go to Settings -> Network Settings in the XMB, it is listed there along with other network settings.

PS3-FTP has been tested and should be compatible with the following clients:

* Filezilla
* FlashFXP
* CuteFTP
* WinSCP
* Windows Explorer
* BSD/UNIX FTP shell client

4) To stop the server once it is running, you have to be connected to your PS3 with your FTP client. Press and hold down the X button on your controller and terminate the connection of your FTP client or just close the FTP client on your PC completely.

The PS3-FTP server should then shutdown and your PS3 should return to the XMB.

If you are a developer, you can also stop and restart PS3-FTP via telnet.

Simply connect to the FTP Port (21) of your PS3 via telnet and type "QUIT!" or "QUITR". If you are running Unix and have the "expect" interpreter installed, you can use the "stop" and "restart" scripts that are located at the repository's root directory. (Remember to close the connection of your FTP client before trying to connect via telnet)

It doesn't have a GUI, so will give you a black screen, it is still working though, if you don't know your PS3 IP, check your router, the only problem i had with it was not being able to close the app.

It's great to see another 100% legal app, let alone a useful one! Good job. However there is some work to be done before it can be used by normal people and that includes displaying the IP address, and a way to quit the app from the PS3 side.

Keep going!

is there no way to impliment a ftp server that runs in the background?

say we start it, it exits, then we can ftp at xmb etc

keep reinvententing the wheel

It's not about reinventing anything. It's about creating legal homebrew. It may not be important to you, but many of us care about keeping our systems free of dependence on an illegally obtained SDK.
