| | '''FTP''' (File Transfer Protocol) is a way to transfer files wirelessly through a local network. |
| '''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: | |
| * microSD Management does not exist on Old3DS models.
| |
| * microSD Management is only compatible with Windows.
| |
| * microSD Management uses an outdated protocol (SMB v1.0) that constitutes a security risk. It is therefore disabled by default on modern installations on Windows.
| |
| | |
| Luckily, with custom firmware, we can instead use FTP to transfer files wirelessly on both New3DS ''and'' Old3DS.

| | == Usage == |
| | # 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 top screen of the 3DS (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 top screen of the 3DS (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 it blank |
| | # Click "Login" or "Connect" |
| | #* If prompted to enter a username or password, press ENTER to leave it blank |

| | |
| | === Why not microSD Management? === |
| | |
| | While New 3DS models can do a similar method through microSD Management, said method has a number of downsides: |
| | * microSD Management does not exist on Old 3DS models. |
| | * microSD Management uses a protocol (SMBv1) that is only supported by Windows. |
| | ** Additionally, SMBv1 is heavily outdated, [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/stop-using-smb1/ba-p/425858 now a major security risk], and disabled by default on modern installations of Windows. |
| | * microSD Management can cause random file corruption in use. |
