FTPD for the Nintendo Switch

New page

'''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 [https://winscp.net/eng/download.php WinSCP]
** macOS: Use [https://cyberduck.io/download/ Cyberduck]
** Linux: Nautilus or Dolphin, the file explorers for GNOME and KDE respectively - if not usable, use [https://github.com/masneyb/gftp/releases/latest gFTP] instead

'''On your Switch''':
* The latest release of {{GitHub|mtheall/ftpd/releases|ftpd}} (either of the <code>.nro</code> files)
** The <code>ftpd.nro</code> version has a GUI, while the <code>ftpd-classic.nro</code> version is entirely text-based
** [[switchguide:|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

== Instructions ==

=== Section I - Prep Work ===

# Turn the Switch off
# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>ftpd.nro</code> or <code>ftpd-classic.nro</code> to the <code>switch</code> folder on your SD card
#* Create the folder if it does not exist, as it is useful for several purposes in Switch homebrew
# Insert your SD card into your Switch
# Turn the Switch on
# Open the Homebrew Menu
# Open ftpd

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