Switch:FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a way to transfer files wirelessly through a local network.

Luckily, with custom firmware, we can use this method to transfer files wirelessly to a Switch instead of moving the SD card back and forth each time.

What You Need
On your computer:
 * A working FTP client
 * Windows: Use WinSCP
 * macOS: Use Cyberduck
 * Linux: Nautilus or Dolphin, the file explorers for GNOME and KDE respectively - if not usable, use gFTP instead

On your Switch:
 * The latest release of (either of the   files)
 * The  version has a GUI, while the   version is entirely text-based
 * Our custom firmware guide has you download FTPD to your Switch by default. If you still have the files from following that guide, you may skip directly to step 5 of Section I

Section I - Prep Work

 * 1) Turn the Switch off
 * 2) Insert your SD card into your computer
 * 3) Copy   or   to the   folder on your SD card
 * 4) * Create the folder if it does not exist, as it is useful for several purposes in Switch homebrew
 * 5) Insert your SD card into your Switch
 * 6) Turn the Switch on
 * 7) Open the Homebrew Menu
 * 8) Open ftpd

Section II - FTP Client

 * 1) If you haven't already, install the FTP client for your operating system
 * 2) Open the FTP client and fill in the information as follows:
 * 3) * File protocol: FTP (not SFTP)
 * 4) * Host name/IP address: The IP address displayed on the Switch's screen (e.g. 192.168.0.67)
 * 5) ** This is a local IP address, so you don't need to censor it if you need assistance
 * 6) * Port number: The number after the colon in the IP address displayed on the Switch's screen (usually 5000)
 * 7) ** If you don't see this option, instead type  into the host name/IP address box, e.g.
 * 8) * Username/password: If you see a checkbox for "Anonymous login", then enable it; otherwise, just leave this blank
 * 9) Click "Login" or "Connect"
 * 10) * If prompted to enter a username or password, press ENTER to leave it blank

Your computer is now connected to your Switch via FTP!
