And so we finally have an open source MTP server for the Switch. Awesome

So for those of us, a little on the challenged side, what does this do exactly?

So what's the difference between MTP and FTP?

mtp, i guess from a user perspective, when you connect your switch to usb, you just open an explorer window and drag and drop files. No need for using ftp programs to transfer data. (i know theoretically explorer can log into an ftp server too..but still..)

This is very useful, man. Thanks a lot!

I hope this gets updated, there was a beta of this before.... but it didn't go anywhere, in fact the GitHub page says "abort" or something.

This looks interesting but isn't this basically the same as https://gbatemp.net/threads/nxmtp-access-your-sd-card-over-usb-without-rebooting.528783/ ?

Just wondering as I'm not sure I understand what this does.

nxmtp is closed source.
This is a free and open source alternative.

Ah! Now that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying it for me.

Will this brick my wii?
Options are always welcomed

I guess it'd be much faster to transfer files through USB rather than wirlelessly through FTP.

Ftp can work thru USB too when the device reports itself as a network device.

So what's the difference between MTP and FTP?

MTP is the same protocol a ton of mobile devices, IE Camera's, Smartphones, and other storage devices use over USB (Or whatever connection) to communicate with each other or a computer for example.

It's a pretty standard protocol.

EDit:

thx to the developer. Open source option will always be apreciatted.
Is this protocole something GoldLeaf or Tinfoil could use to install .nsp thought USB-mtp?
