FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a way to transfer files wirelessly through a network. While New3DS models are capable of performing a similar function with microSD Management, there are a number of downsides to that method:
- microSD Management does not exist on Old3DS models.
- microSD Management is only compatible with Windows.
- microSD Management uses an outdated protocol (SMBv1) that is now considered to be a security risk. It is therefore disabled by default on modern installations of Windows.
Luckily, with custom firmware, we can instead use FTP to transfer files wirelessly on both New3DS and Old3DS.

(ip):(port)
