Homebrew Question Is anyone currently developing, or is there a working FTP client on 5.x.x currently?

[XtremeTemp]

I'm sure many of us want this, is there a current one or is there one being made? I don't mind doing the process over and over again but it does get annoying due to the switch restarting every time you remove the sd card, but having a ftp client on switch so we could keep our SD card in our switch at all times, which would be great.

Any answer would be appreciated

ftpd from switchbrew works fine.

Doesn't work on 5.0.2. I got 0.0.0.0:5000, It's not recognizing the ip address.

Doesn't work on 5.0.2. I got 0.0.0.0:5000, It's not recognizing the ip address.

It's a known cosmetic bug, it still works fine regardless.

because thats not the switches IP its just not displaying it correctly though you would have to wait for someone else to answer on how to get the ip

From normal internet settings

Use the network settings to get the local IP.

System Settings > Internet

Then in connection status under IP address. For example mine is 192.168.0.11, so the FTP for me is 192.168.0.11:5000. And I can confirm this works on 5.0.2, I've used it a bunch for loading .nro files onto the SD card

Does it work for downloading yet or still errors out?

Not tried downloading specifically but uploading, moving files and deleting works fine

 

[Knucklesfan]

Luv u m8.

Haven't had to restart it since

 

[PatrickD85]

Yep ftpd works fine.
Quick side node; folders created through OSX on SD cards seem to be a real swing and miss.
If you face issues, please use ftpd to create the folders then it will be fine.

FTP Server, not client. Huge difference.

 

[phonz]

I'm looking forward to a fully working FTP server as well.
FTPd still doesn't like it when you download some files from it to PC, ie Checkpoint save game backups

If you know your Switch's local ip, you can still connect.

Yea i had that problem, just connect using something like WinSCP on your Switch's local IP which you can find in network settings like Example.Example.Example.Example:5000 and it should work.

0.0.0.0 is IPv4 bind syntax for "all interfaces". It's not a bug and not an error. It just means that it's listening on not one particular address, but on all valid network addresses the console has.

Does this work for 5.0.2? I would love to test it out!

works, but as I said, some files can't be properly downloaded from the Switch. It's a known issue though.
