Hi All,

I created an FTP Client app for the switch. Hope you enjoy it.

Any tutorial about how setup you connection?
I'm using Filezilla server and cannot connect, have spent around 3 hours now :/

I had created a video for the VITA, the first section shows how to setup Filezilla FTP server. My version of FTP server might be older, but you get the idea.

Where do you get the IP in 6:33?

Where do you get the IP in 6:33?

That's the IP address of the computer where FTP server is running.

In windows press "Windows Key + R" then in the popup dialog type in "cmd" without the quote. That is bring up the cmd software. In the cmd, run the command "ipconfig" without the quotes. You should see the IP address of the computer.

If you don't assign a static IP to your computer, that IP address can change. So best thing is go to your router and assign a static IP to your computer.

I get ECONNREFUSED :/
I set a static IP from my PC network properties

Edit: ok, restarted FTPServer and now is working

It's ok to change the network settings on computer, but if the router doesn't know about it, it can sometimes assign the same IP to another network device and that can cause an IP conflict.

Finally, a CLIENT instead of a server! Now if only there was SMB support too.. That'd rock.

Yeah. I don't know why on every console, the focus is always on the FTP server. That's why I created this becuz I find it much more convenient to access my computer/NAS directly from the console.

Nope. Might look at it in the future.

DBI has FTP client a long time ago.

What's DBI?

So @duckbill007 doesnt have to toot his own horn…

https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/blob/main/README_ENG.md

DBI is a bad ass installer that sets the bar in many areas.

Hmm, I can see an FTP server in DBI but not a client.

Nice homebrew @cy33hc !

Agreed!

• FTP - display Run FTP server, to start FTP mode

I’ve not used DBI as a client. Hidden feature? Or maybe misunderstanding?

Nice homebrew @cy33hc !

Agreed again. Love having a client on the Switch now! It’s awesome.

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

If I ever get two switches with HB, I ought to try and use DBI's server on one and this client on the other!

Nope, usin' DBI right now (transfering GBA save from 3DS to Switch) and it only does a server.
