CJPC a well know PS3 developer has created the first true PS3 homebrew application, a PS3 Server application, here is what it states in the read me:

With the start of the real PS3 Scene, people sharing what they have - I decided to code up this little, horribly buggy app. It is an FTP Server for the PS3, with it, on a retail with your choice of "hack" to enable unsigned code it allows: Full Read/Write access to all of "dev_hdd0" (including save areas, games, VM etc) Full Read/Write access to "dev_flash2" and "dev_flash3" Full Read/Write access to connected usb devices Full Read access to "dev_flash" Full Read access to "dev_bdvd" To use: Connect with your choice of FTP client - Prefered is the old "ftp" from the command line, however Filezilla seems to work, allowing only one connection, and disabling PASV support. Furthermore, the Server does not support some commands (like rename, of all things!) so make sure what you do counts! Use the IP shown on the screen - make sure to have your net connection up and running before hand (wired is so much faster) Connect to that IP, port 21, use the username: FTPD12345, and whatever password you like. I could have removed the username check in the library, but I'm lazy! Be careful, some of the flash contents ARE writable , nobody is responsible for what you do to your PS3 but you! Limitations: Can not write to dev_flash Can not rename files Buggy as hell (randomly crashes, blame Sony!) Files 4GB increments show as the difference, for example a 6GB file shows as "2gb", or a 11gb file shows as 3gb - It will download, well past 100% , just let it keep going! Finally, this app was coded quickly, by someone who can't code for the life of him. It mostly uses provided API's, and the GUI is based off of a sample - but, it gets the job done. Furthermore a tiny, tiny, super tiny bit of editing was done to the library to allow full access to the entire system, and the hack enabled the rest!

Download Thanks to CJPC for taking the time to create this great app

This is awesome!!! Great work m8... can't wait to try this out. Think I should start doing some PS3 dev aswell to contribute to the scene a bit.

man this is getting so good now....

i can see it now~ 1-2 months, FULL gameos minipulation, & then the ability to have a "XBMC" on it, withthe ability to luachn games from the Internal HD, External, & NEtwork...& of course the BD....

its about time....i just hate swaping games....

[General Plot]

Certainly a nice start. We need basic tools like this if we're gonna get anywhere with real homebrew. Nice way to kick off homebrew.

i think we must more details about it. because i dont understand what i must do? a .pkg file in arcihve, how i must use that? what is the correct ip adress, username, password and port?

Thats what im talking about now lol, as buggy as it may be, its functional and it was coded "at home." This is a good start and I'm so glad this came before someone put out a useless hello world. Great start now lets keep them coming. I'm going to wait to put anything out until a free sdk is released from someone... cause i'm definitely not going to rewrite the whole thing myself.

Nice one m8! gratz with the first homebrew application.. Beside the backup manager.

[peterthelemon]

Well this is a brilliant reason for all those hackers to hurry up with all those jailbreak ports lol

Congrats. Happy were finally seeing some homebrew.

How long you guys think it'll take to be able to access/mount a smb share? Wouldn't need to install bigger internal hard drives or mess around with fat32 on external harddrives. you could just access your local NAS instead *drools*
