Hacking Suggestion Switch Filebrowser

[Miqote]

Is there already one for the Switch? That's usually one of the first things created, but I couldn't find one anywhere. I'd tackle it myself but my C is nowhere near enough to undertake such a task.

Actually working on one, but my time is limited this days so it could take some weeks / months :/

I worked on one as well but many things didn't work properly on switch (like file deletion - exactly the same sourcecode worked with other systems) and the HDD where I stored the source gave up.

You didn't use source control?

It's pretty unlikely that a HDD dies. Most of the times I work in a dropbox, but this time obviously not.

You can kinda use FTPD to manage files.

Can you use the USB ports of the Dock for those file managers?

Never shows a IP even if I disable parental control and activate wifi before

The ip display is bugged in FTPD. It can be found in the switch settings/wireless connection.

BTW if anyone wants to delete files on the switch (you can't delete folders or do anything else): https://www.dropbox.com/s/4gggvmahw38jemo/Switch_Filebrowser.rar?dl=0
Select a file and press "X" to delete it. You can press an arrow key after deleting a file if the screen doesn't update. You can open folders by pressing A and exit them by pressing B.
Don't press "Y"! It will crash the console.

Use at your own risk! There is no check after you pressed X! Only tested on 3.0.0!

Can you throw the source up on a repo?

As I already wrote, it was on a HDD that died, so sadly no :/
I might make a rewrite at one point tho.

Oh, derp. Sorry!

And yeah, I noticed that I wasn't able to delete files via FTP. I assume that's the same issue.

I've had at least half a dozen hard drives die. Don't trust those fuckers.

While paranoid for most, for important stuff follow the 3-2-1 rule.

Especially when it comes to source code. Been there, done that, sucks hard...

Hopefully someone does this because then I won't have to go to my computer to manage files.

I second that. There really is a great need for file browser on the Switch atm.
