Is it possible to run a ftp server or install nsp over USB from a smartphone?

Assuming that you are on android:
For FTP, you can use AndFTP (free on playstore) to transfer NSP files on the switch and install them via Tinfoil/goldleaf/other, just remember the 4GB limitation on fat32. For USB install from a phone, i don't think there is something like that.

USB Install if you have a method to boot Linux (or Windows) or any Python Interpreter and with a lots of luck

No, but if your phone has an sdcard slot you can use that, get a file manager on your phone, download cfw and extract it to the sdcard. You can also get an sdcard reader for your phone if it doesn't have one built in. That might a bit more challenging on iOS, but I'm sure there are apps that can read the sdcard and download files.

Android Adapter

iPhone Adapter

iOS App
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/izip-zip-unzip-unrar-tool/id413971331

That app might work, looks like it can access files and unzip them, worse case you'd download the cfw zip, upload it to gdrive/dropbox/etc and pull it from there to the app.

Best bet is to pop your SD card into your phone and transfer the file that way.

Yes, but this would be the best option if just there was no need to turn off switch and the phone as well.
Also, the problem still remains for the files bigger than 4GB

seconding getting a FTP client on your phone, it's a mostly reliable method, and you can get around the 4gb limit by finding a file splitter. we're probably not getting nspsplit for android anytime soon, but you can just put it in a zip file, split that, then extract the split file with nx-shell.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
     +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
