Hacking Transfering PS3 games to internal HDD

[ChaosBoi]

Can I just FTP them from my PC to the PS3, or will I have to place them in an external HDD? If I can just FTP them, what would be the best app available for that job?

You can use an FTP server or an external hard drive formatted to FAT32. If you want to use FTP I would recomend FileZilla and blackb0x's PS3 FTP server.

Download links

FileZilla - http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server
blackb0x FTP Server - http://psx-scene.com/forums/f6/blackb0x-ft...released-68126/

Also please ask simple questions like these in ask GBAtemp. Thats what it was made for.

Yes, you can. Use either FileZilla or FlashFXP

Ah, sorry. I wasn't aware of that page, but thanks nonetheless

. I guess I'll try it out later then.

EDIT: Another question I forgot to ask. Can I hook up my PS3 to my PC using an ethernet cable and FTP them that way, or will I have to do it wirelessly through my router? My router needs to be downstairs so I cannot connect to it via cable.

EDIT 2: Hm, I keep getting "Connection timed out" when I tried to transfer files. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you can. But you don't have to.

I got the same error when using FileZilla. Try FlashFXP and see if it works. I know FlashFXP isn't free but...

Also, make sure the IP address is correct and the port is 21.

I tried to connect them with the ethernet cable earlier but couldn't figure out how to get them to work that way :\ . If you know how to do it that way then please tell me how, as I prefer to transfer things through cable since it's always been the fastest method as well as the most stable for me. Anyway, I should probably try using FlashFXP. I finally got FileZilla to work but it really pissed me off yesterday after failing to transfer a 22 GB file when there was only 10-30 minutes left
