FTP programs?

**Cataulin** · 09-02-2006,08:52 PM

Im a complete noob with a SATA harddrive set up. so Im opting to go the FTP route(which I have no Idea on how to use). Can anyone tell me how easy to set up and put games on my HDD it is? Could you also link me to the program download page?

well just get hdl dump to transfer games either iso or dvd/cd into ur hdd though network

Hdl_dump is really the best way to transfer by ftp.
It can be found directly here on ps2-scene.
Just start the server on your PS2 and the client on your PC. There is a client-software included but you can also use other software like the hdl_dump GUI

I use HDL_Dumb 0.85 - it has an easy to use Front End, and HDLD_SVR.ELF on the PS2. Gives me transfer speeds of 2Mb/s. Haven't tried HDL_Dump yet though...

I dont mean to beg but can someone point me in the direction of a premade iso for teh ps2 version of HDL-dump or something that will also work?

SATA harddrives don't work on the ps2.

I know that. Im just saying that so people wont say" just attach the HDD to teh slave connection and just dump them into there." Ive got IDE HDD so Im all set.

Another question. Is it possible to format the HDD thru HDL-Dump?

**HomerX** · 09-05-2006,11:27 AM

As far as I know, there is no function to format in hdl_dump.
The first time you start HD Loader it formats your harddisk, so it's not really necessary to do it with hdl_dump. A good software to use to format your harddisk is the DMS HD Format utility- it can also create partitions. Maybe usefull if you want to create a seperate one for music and so on...

I think the "initialize" command is used to format the HD.

Usage: initialize device

Prepares a HDD for HD Loader usage. All information on the HDD will be lost.

Example:
hdl_dump initialize hdd1:
