Is this a self-made HB one, or taken from one of the leaked Sony SDKs?

Older SDKs had such an ftp app....

It's compiled from a leaked SDK sample seems like.

I wonder if this could be used to re-enable OtherOS

Thing is, you'd to add everything back to the FW that is needed (HV drivers and stuff) and I highly doubt this has write access to the flash - would not try it on my box anyway xD

It does on dev_flash2 and dev_flash3, apparently. According to Mathieulh, Sony forgot to set viewing permissions on retail boxes o_O

But yeah - I wouldn't dare mess with the flash, unless you don't mind risking a brick xD

Is it still a brick when it's a PS3? Cinderblock seems more appropriate xD

Saw on psx-scene today that someone found out you can use this FTP thing to edit some file in your back ups to enable remote play on any game. There is a use to this!

as in, control from the psp remote play?

Yup.

that's incredible

but pointless xD

still, i never would have imagined that remote play ability would be as simply as changing a variable in the backup's, i had thought it would be something that would have to be built into the game to take advantage of

Still, how are you going to emulate 1 analog stick, L2, R2, L3 and R3? Maybe that's why it was never allowed, most games wouldn't be compatible

true enough...but i still never imagined it'd be so....simple

I always thought it would though xD Sony tends to hide the simplest stuff

Hey i was wondering is it possible to transfer games over ps2 ftp directly to your external harddrive? or is it just internal. Because i was attempting to transfer a game directly to my external that way and got a bunch of failed transfers.

I assume you might be able to but why would you if it's an external drive, you can just hook it up to your PC and probably get better speeds. It might have failed to transfer because there is a file in it larger than 4 gigs.

ps3* my internal is only 60gb and i have a feeling i wont be able to store up to much games

then buy the games ;)

But you can still plug your hard drive into your computer and transfer your pirated games onto it via usb and probably faster than the ftp would do it, so why would you need to use the ftp thing for your external drive?

You can access connected USB devices through the FTP server, though not sure what the point would be. It's much slower than copying over the files directly via USB on your PC.
