Homebrew Question How viable is a switch FTP client?

[APartOfMe]

Like the title says, I'm interested in a switch FTP client homebrew app. I've been looking at the switch homebrew appstore code to see if I could modify it, but my coding skills are 2nd to none . Can anybody point me in the right direction to learn more about this? I'd love to learn more about how I could create an app like this

edit: nvm this post, thats what I get for skimminh

it's already happened, both as a sysmodule and an hb app, the module is more stable to use that instead. you can even download files from switch with the module unlike the hb app

The existing ones are ftp servers, which is the opposite end of the connection than the client, tho whether this matters from a user standpoint is debatable.

oh i forgot to mention the module never crashed for me, but the hb app did so much

Yeah. I'm looking to eauther use or create one that would connect the switch to a ftp server, rather than the switch itself being the server

Ok, well that hasn't been done so far, but it would be perfectly viable technically. I guess the interface could be reasonably useable given touchscreen controls, on-screen keyboard etc. Whether anyone will want to put the work into it is another question.
