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

Luckily, with custom firmware, we can instead use FTP to transfer files wirelessly on the Wii U.

What You Need

On your computer:

A working FTP client
- Windows: Use WinSCP
- macOS: FileZilla
- Linux: FileZilla

On your Wii U:

The latest release of ftpiiu (FTPiiU)
- Download the ftpiiu.zip file, extract it and place the wiiu folder in the root of the SD card

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Insert your SD card into your computer
Extract the contents of ftpiiu.zip and copy the wiiu folder to the root of your SD card. Merge if asked.
Insert your SD card into your Wii U
Ensure your Wii U is connected to the same Internet connection as your computer
Open the Homebrew Launcher (Mii Maker for Tiramisu)
Navigate to FTPiiU
Touch it and press Load

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 GamePad or TV (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: usually 21
  - If you don't see this option, instead type (ip):(port) into the host name/IP address box, e.g. 192.168.0.67:21
- Username/password: If you see a checkbox for "Anonymous login", then enable it; otherwise, just leave it blank
Click "Login" or "Connect"
- If prompted to enter a username or password, press ENTER to leave it blank

Your computer is now connected to your Wii U via FTP!
