Dbi has "connect to server" menu item. Also you can setup favorite connections in the config. It supports remote http (s) and ftp servers.

Current dbi version is 444 and it does not have own GitHub. It is distributed through Russian forums and torrent trackers.

If I ever get two switches with HB, I ought to try and use DBI's server on one and this client on the other!

Nope, usin' DBI right now (transfering GBA save from 3DS to Switch) and it only does a server.

I did it with sys-ftpd-lite.
Was able to connect just fine. :-)

I’m trying to get past the damn captcha to create an account now.
If we agreed that my Russian is like a baby then my ability to accurately read Cyrillic that’s been warped by a computer is like an amoeba!

I did it! Finally!

DBI-444, here I come!

Works as advertised! :-)

The trick to get it to show up on the menu is to set up the target server in /switch/DBI/config.ini like so:

I went from zero FTP clients this morning to two clients as of this afternoon.

No github?! That's crazy! How would such an awesome app NOT have a better place to keep its source code and releases???

Note, that you do not have to configure each connection in ini. Just enable "network" for main menu and you'll get "Connect to server..."

Hmm. Just found a bug - without any configured connections "Connect to server" is unavailable. Will be fixed in next release.

C1 runs on PC, no? This is a client that runs directly on the Switch.

Haha. Everybody get confused since I made the interface very commander like. To be exact, I made it look like Filezilla FTP Client UI. So easy to have local and remote files on single screen where you can navigate both at the same time.
