• Homebrew, PS3 Hacks, Software , 24.11.2010

    stoneMcClane has released exclusively to PS3HaX, the first legal homebrew FTP server for the PS3, it was created using the open source PS3 SDK PSL1GHT, here is a quote from the readme:

    A minimal PlayStation3 FTP server written with the help of PSL1GHT (http://www.psl1ght.com/)

    1) To start the FTP server, just run the PS3-FTP.self via ps3load/wiiload or install the
    PS3-FTP.pkg and run it directly from the XMB on your PS3.

    2) Configure your FTP client to use passive mode and only one FTP connection at a time.

    3) Connect to your PS3′s IP on port 21 with an FTP client of your choice. If you don’t
    know the IP address of your PS3, go to Settings -> Network Settings in the XMB, it is
    listed there along with other network settings.

    PS3-FTP has been tested and should be compatible with the following clients:
    * Filezilla
    * FlashFXP
    * CuteFTP
    * WinSCP
    * Windows Explorer
    * BSD/UNIX FTP shell client

    4) To stop the server once it is running, you have to be connected to your PS3 with your
    FTP client. Press and hold down the X button on your controller and terminate the
    connection of your FTP client or just close the FTP client on your PC completely.
    The PS3-FTP server should then shutdown and your PS3 should return to the XMB.

    If you are a developer, you can also stop and restart PS3-FTP via telnet. Simply
    connect to the FTP port (21) of your PS3 via telnet and type “QUIT!” or “QUITR”. If
    you are running Unix and have the “expect” interpreter installed, you can use the
    “stop” and “restart” scripts that are located at the repository’s root directory.
    (Remember to close the connection of your FTP client before trying to connect via telnet)

      It is faster when transferring large files, than the other FTP clients, alos it is created with the Open Source PS3 SDK.

      Might be a problem related to slims maybe, works here on Fat with psgroove 1.1 and hermes v4.
      @people having slims: you can't connect to the server via FTP once it's running ?

      It's nice to know that this thing is made legally, but does anyone really care? Just look at all the rest that arent sony cant do anything about them. To sound as an ungrateful git, why are ppl releasing the same old things? How many managers, ftp clients, patch downloaders are there now? How about working on something different.

      By becoming truly open source, it can expand beyond the limits of the Sony SDK...that is why this is so good. At the moment, the program is crap...but it will improve. I agree that the number of backup managers is getting a little crazy...but we really need a ftp server that does not use Sony's terrible libraries...and this could be it once a few people have had their way with it.

      Just a quick question, your saying this is legal. Does this mean if I were to install this onto a 3.41 then update to .50 it would still be launchable without a jb device? If so I got a little plan to get gt5 working with .41 ;-)

      Locks up and freezes my Fat. Using hermes v4b and PL3. I was still able to FTP and browse directories, but unable to transfer files.

      Ah, yes. Forgot to mention mine was the fat model as well. Hermes payload v4 psn. Hope we see this working soon.

      Works fine for me on my FAT 3.15 console using the PL3 payload via rockbox ipod5g.

      It's faster than blackbox, but does not work with curlftp .

      winscp is fine with it on passive mode though .

      Really wanted a way of extracting rars directly to the ps3 though, I hate having to extract them locally then copy pfff.

      A 3rd FTP? We only need the other 2 that are released. What's the difference between this one and the other 2?

      just use Directory Opus for Windows from GPsoftware. It's a filemanager with rar and zip support and has a ftp function. You can dubbelclick the main-rar and it shows the contents and you can copy it directly to the (ftp) dir you want. I wouldn't use Windows without it !!

      It's been the greatest filemanager since the Amiga homecomputers (early '90's) and for the people who don't know, the PS1 was developed by Sony but with the help and knowledge of Amiga engineers so the PS1 was a little bit an Amiga computer
