So, to summarize, I'm having these problems in Evilnat 4.89.3 Cobra 8.4 [PEX] [CEX]:

1 - As soon as I click "Enable FTP" in "Cobra Tools" with an USB device attached to the PS3, the latter freezes (I tested this in another PS3 Slim and a friend of mine also did it in his PS3 Slim and we're having this problem too);

2 - The PS3 often freezes/beeps thrice and restarts when returning to XMB after having transferred files with FileZilla or WinSCP to the PS3;

3 - If I delete a FileZilla or WinSCP FTP transfer to the PS3 while IRISMAN is running and the transfer is being made, the following FTP transfers start very slowly (like under 1 MiB/s instead of 21 something MiB/s) and take time to reach the right speed (21 something MiB/s);

4 - If I leave FileZilla or WinSCP connected to the PS3 for some time, I can't reconnect to it until I close FileZilla or WinSCP and run them again.

I reinstalled FileZilla, Evilnat 4.89.3 Cobra 8.4 [PEX] [CEX] and IRISMAN, used the Restore File System and Rebuild Database settings from the Recovery Menu and swapped the HDD for the previous one and for a new SSD (the FTP transfer speed went from 18 something MiB/s to 21 something MiB/s) and I still have these issues.

EDIT: If I close FileZilla or WinSCP after transferring files, I can go back to XMB from IRISMAN without the PS3 freezing.

EDIT 2: If I return to XMB from multiMAN and Rebug Toolbox after transferring files to the PS3 with FileZIlla or WinSCP without closing them, the PS3 doesn't freeze/beep thrice and restart, so maybe it's IRISMAN's fault (as well as the second issue). Also, the third issue happens if using multiMAN, Rebug Toolbox and Cobra's FTP too.

Jesus, man. Use openps3ftp plugin for an always on connection. Don't enable ftp. If that doesn't work, it's definitely user error.

Again, didn't you state you'd never answer my replies again and before that didn't you state more than once you didn't want to be bothered with the PS3 scene?

I already told you that the PS3 doesn't freeze if I use the openps3ftp plugin but its FTP server is slow.

What do you mean by user error?

At this point, I don't think can or should help you. You have problems no one else does, and when it's across multiple systems, the ps3, the vita, the ps5, either you have the worst luck or you're stupid. There's really no helping you at this point. Stay away from hacking, PLEASE...

Again, of course it's mostly the former, since many of them were even fixed after some updates were released, and in other cases, it's thanks to hardware, because after doing the same procedure in other consoles, I don't have them.

Like I already said, some Reddit users complained about some of these problems (not this thread's but other ones) and even GBATemp and PSX-Place ones.

I already stated the PS3 doesn't freeze if I use the openps3ftp plugin but its file server is slow. It's not my fault you're not paying attention to what I state.

No, I won't.

You'll need to do all the obvious things, like try enabling it without connected to a network, then only with your router. Then downgrade and see if the same thing occurs etc.

You're the only person that can provide any information on the issue, once you have done enough investigation then you can raise a bug report.

There isn't going to be a "click this option if it hangs" that anyone here can help with. PS3 ftp servers have always been pretty unreliable, I try to limit how many files I send.

It still crashes if it's not connected to the Internet but why did you ask to check if it worked that way since with no internet access FTP servers don't work? Also, the previous Evilnat version doesn't even have a FTP server so how can I test if it works?

I think I already provided enough information and done enough investigation, and like I stated, I even have this problem on two HDDs (the first might be the original HDD of the console and the TB one was bought in August 2021) and on a new SSD, and like I also stated, I have this problem in another PS3 Slim and a friend told me he has it in his PS3 Slim too.

I also try to limit the how many files I send but that that doesn't have to do with this.

post here then

https://www.psx-place.com/threads/cfw-4-89-3-evilnat-cobra-8-4-cex-dex-pex.37294/

Though it looks like you might be a bit late I will remove the option for FTP, it works well for some but not for others and I don't know what could be the reason yet

Already did. So, it looks like other users are having this problem but according to @godreborn, it's my fault.

EDIT: If I close FileZilla or WinSCP after transferring files, I can go back to XMB from IRISMAN without the PS3 freezing.

EDIT 2: If I return to XMB from multiMAN and Rebug Toolbox after transferring files to the PS3 with FileZIlla or WinSCP without closing them, the PS3 doesn't freeze/beep thrice and restart, so maybe it's IRISMAN's fault (as well as the second issue). Also, the third issue happens if using multiMAN, Rebug Toolbox and Cobra's FTP too.

I'm still on sman from years ago, though I haven't had chance to upgrade the ps3 yet.

Why do you care if some random thinks it's your fault?
