ftpd

FTP Server for 3DS/Switch/Linux.

Features

• Appears to work well with a variety of clients.

• Supports multiple simultaneous clients. The 3DS itself only appears to support enough sockets to perform 4-5 simultaneous data transfers, so it will help if you limit your FTP client to this many parallel requests.

• Cutting-edge graphics.

• MODE Z

• Exit on NDS/3DS with START button

• Exit on Switch with PLUS button

• Toggle backlight on NDS/3DS with SELECT button

• Toggle backlight on Switch with MINUS button

• Emulation of a /dev/zero (/devZero) device for network performance testing

  • Example retrieve curl ftp://192.168.1.115:5000/devZero -o /dev/zero
  • Example send curl -T /dev/zero ftp://192.168.1.115:5000/devZero
