Need help with setting up FTP for flashcard

[Rednorka]

Hi, I recently wanted to start using my flashcard again, for DS homebrew and nostalgia sake. I got annoyed by the fact I have to plug my SD card into PC every time I need to put files in there and tried to set up an FTP server with no luck.

Here's my flashcard setup:
* It's a R4i-SDHC 3DS cart from r4i-sdhc.com
* Uses latest (at the point of writing) flashcard-bootstrap to launch into Moonshell 2.10 instead of usual firmware (why? i just like that menu better!)
* Moonshell file isn't patched I think? Reports DSTT boyakkey ver. as its DLDI driver in the logs
* FTP servers tried: DSFTP (2.6) and ftpd (asiekierka fork), without and with DLDI patches
* DLDI patches tried: DSTT reimplementation (regular and SDHC) from DS-Homebrew Github, boyakkey ver. from same repo
* ftpd only shows white screen, while DSFTP reports "nothing to read" error despite having files it can read on the SD card
* Lilou Box was tested too, but has touchscreen issues and generally feels clunky; I would like to avoid it

If anyone can help me figure out a working FTP solution I would be grateful!
(Just... please don't suggest me things like "use your 3DS/phone instead". I've been on these forums for long enough to know some people do that)

I wouldn't even bother. The ftp speed with the ds has got to be terrible.

Are you using the flashcart in a 3DS or in a DS? Do the normal DS network functions work as expected?

On a 3DS, and DS mode works without issues.

DS mode works without issues.

Meaning what, exactly? What can you do in DS mode that uses your network connection?

Standard stuff like online multiplayer (w/ Wiimmfi) works, and I can actually connect to DSFTP too - but reports "nothing to read" error before closing connection, which is most likely not related to network.

Update: turns out the problem was my FTP client... the only thing I haven't checked because I got so used to the one I have (Cx File Explorer for Android). I'll be looking into ones that work and look good now!
