FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a way to transfer files wirelessly through a local network.
By using a piece of homebrew called ftpii, we can turn the Wii into an FTP server accessible on the network via an FTP client.
Requirements
On your PC:
- A working FTP client
- Windows: Use WinSCP
- Using FTP through File Explorer is not recommended. It is very unreliable.
- macOS: Use Cyberduck
- Linux: Nautilus or Dolphin, the file explorers for GNOME and KDE respectively - if not usable, use gFTP instead
- Android 5.0 and above: Use ftpclient
- iPhone: Use FTPManager
- To add files to "My Files" in the app, use the default files app to move desired files to

Usage

Please don't touch the NAND unless YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! |
- You should see your Wii's IP address and TCP port, remember them or write them down
- Open your chosen FTP client, install if you didn't already
- Fill the information as follows
- File protocol: FTP (not SFTP)
- Host Name/IP Address: The IP displayed on your Wii
- This is local, you do not need to censor it for assistance.
- Port number: The TCP port displayed on your Wii (usually 21)
- If you don't see this option, instead type
(ip):(port)into the host name/IP address box, e.g.192.168.0.129:21
- If you don't see this option, instead type
- Username/password: If you see a checkbox for "Anonymous login", then enable it; otherwise, just leave it blank
- Click "Login" or "Connect"
 |
You've now connected to your Wii via FTP! |
