Homebrew Question FTp Application

[baretbh]

But I'm paranoid (mostly because of the "rumor" that "coldboot would be 0% possible on 5.x and above"), and that's my only Switch.
Which firmware are you on BTW?

It's about the same likelyhood as 4.1.0 from what SciresM said. There might always be another solution with AUTORcm being a thing. We'll have to wait and see. But, i'm just going off of what a huge dev said so. Ya. I am currently on 5.1.0 btw

I can send files from PC to switch without problem but when grabbing stuff from switch to PC it gives me the error

Same problem for me, too. On 5.1.0.

Are you using the fix that m4xw provided? https://gbatemp.net/attachments/ftpd-zip.130534/

Nope, thanks!

Ya i know its sucks to have to keep powering off taking your sd card out and joycon off and loading the payload everytime. Im glad that we no longer have to do that with m4xw's fix to ftpd on 5.1.0 and hekates recent update that allows sleep mode. I also use that file manager too NXloader i think its called? Very helpful.

Honestly it's worth upgrading, its the next best thing to coldboot imo. Today is my 5th day without having to use my jig and still on CFW. I can also still use eShop etc. I think its a win win situation in your case to upgrade

Must have missed some of my post about 'memloader"? It basically solves the need of taking your SD card out ever. It's a payload you might want to look up.
Although I do have @m4xw's version sitting there, I'm not using it atm since the old one corrupted my SD card once.

You do know there is quite some risk to be using homebrew on the latest firmware? Since you're basically going regularly online and the Switch might be communicating your logs to Nintendo.
I am on version 4.1.0 and I don't mind using a jig (actually hacked right joycon) but what is keeping me from going online as of now is the compatibility issue introduced by Nintendo with 3rd party accessories.

im on 5.0.1 and i download the ftp from the home brew app when it starts says 0.0.0.0 5000... easy all you have to do is go to switch settings and look at you ip so if is 111.222.33 thats the ip.. Next go to FileZilla and put 111.222.33 and go to port and out 5000 click it you good and i can get files to pc with no problems...

Coldboot isn't currently possible past 3.0.2 so 4.1 may never get a coldboot but it might get a warmboot if you don't wanna keep using a jig or leaving your Switch in sleep mode. Also, there is no coldboot exploit that works up to 3.0.2 nor is there anyone working on it so when it comes down to recommending which firmwares to stay on, recommendations are based on the warmboot exploits (because they exist) not theoretical coldboots. Of course, the decision to update is still yours.

Now thats interesting. I don't see anything indicating my observation.

This feels like the binary everyone's using is funky let me check

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Works for me, would you confirm?`
Downloading 5mb file just fine, no code changes, just fresh build!

I feel like a typedef was off in the build that was used but thats speculation

Holy fuck dude you're a god damned legend! Thank you so much for making this fix, this resolved all my problems with the original FTPD

Still crashes for me :v

What firmware/payload are you using?

I'm using SX OS v1.1 and it works great. Was failing to transfer files before.

There have been some socket fixes, I could try recompiling it with up2date toolchain/libnx but 6h of work to go :>

FWIW, yesterday without seeing this thread I figured out a way to get it working for me. Also not reading this thread to catch up so this might not help but hey :

5.1 and SX OS 1.1, IIRC from last night this build on the homebrew store was from february?

I was using the latest release from 10 days ago on winters github, he fixed the switch ip not displaying correctly, but everytime I'd try to connect it would throw a connection error in the switch console. I went on some discords and found a few others having the same issue, eventually a guy had a smart idea of just using the older version found by downloading it through the homebrew menu... It gave me a different homebrew icon, the ip wasnt displaying correctly as noted, but it stays connected for a while. I was able to stay connected for a while and transfer stuff. Unfortunately the switch does still go to sleep so every 5 min or so I have to move a joystick. I told the others in the discord and they grabbed this version and it worked for them as well.

Hmm, mine keeps coming up with an error about 'license-request.dat'. That's on Hekate, on SX 1.1 it crashes the Switch

I wrote a quick fix for the license-request.dat problem. Also I added some functionality to show the IP of the Switch when the network service has been initialized already (that happens when you for example restart the app. It will show the IP then).

Hope it helps

Nice, cheers dude. Will give it a test

EDIT: Nice, mostly works great on SX OS 1.1. Did get a crash while trying to transfer a large .xci file, but it was great for casually dropping .nro files for testing, adding in folders, deleting files etc. Fantastic work

 

[Drejj]

Same here. Can't transfer bigger files. Stops listening after around 10MB.

 

[nero99]

The person who ported it to 5.x said that you can send files to the switch but you can't send files from switch -> PC.

I'm on 5.1 and can do both way file transfer just fine

 

[sirAnger]

I get an error screen 2345-0021 when I try to send files to the switch using both the builds from tannhuser and m4xw. Large numbers of small files fail after a few files, and large files fail after a certain percentage. I haven't done any testing to see if it's consistent after a certain number of bytes or whatever, but it seems like that might be the case.

Using hekate, FW 5.1.0.

Any method for stay connected without online?

 

[Kupie]

Any method for stay connected without online?

Use the special DNS servers. When you try to connect, your switch will say "you need to sign in" or something and let you connect to the network without actually going online.

Then FTPD will work.
