Hacking Optimal way to transfer over >4GB games on PS3HEN?

[CeeDee]

Used to the HAN style PKG Linker, but I can't get that working on my newly-setup PS3HEN. Is there an alternative way to do so, preferably over Ethernet? Using HFW 4.84 and resigned PKG files. Thanks!

Edit: For anyone looking for a good solution and finds my thread, I've found one: you can use an FTP homebrew, like FTP Server from blackb0x.

dont use PKGs, use unpacked ISOs, some games wont run, but most games work and since they are unpacked, there is no single file that is 4gb+

I beg to differ. I installed Gran Turismo 6 on my PS3, and there's a file in it named GT.VOL that is 14.3 GB in size.

Edit: How I installed the game was through Multiman. When multiman is running, it's also an FTP server. Just pop the IP into an FTP client (Filezilla/CuteFTP), and upload to the dev_hdd0\GAMES folder. Afterward, the game will be seen by multiman, and you can install from there. Be sure to update before the initial run of the game (either in multiman or XMB), or you might get a black screen freeze/loop back to multiman

Edit2: minor info editing

PKG Linker allows you to transfer package files over the internet, and I would assume also over ethernet.
