FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a way to transfer files wirelessly through a local network.
What You Need
On your computer:
- A working FTP client
- Windows: Use WinSCP
- macOS: Use Cyberduck
- Linux: Nautilus or Dolphin, the file explorers for GNOME and KDE respectively - if not usable, use gFTP instead
On your 3DS:
- The latest release of ftpd (any
.3dsx)
- The normal (unlabelled) version has a GUI while the
classic version is entirely text-based
Installation
If your 3DS can use the internet, choose the Universal-Updater method.
Section I - Prep Work
- Open Universal-Updater
- Tap the magnifying glass icon on the bottom screen, and search for ftpd
- Press A on the ftpd entry, and choose one of the four ftpd/ftpd-classic files
- Once it finishes downloading, exit Universal-Updater
- Open the Homebrew Launcher
- Open ftpd
Section I - Prep Work
- Turn the 3DS off
- Insert your SD card into your computer
- Download one of the ftpd/ftpd-classic 3dsx files and move it into the
3ds folder on your SD card
- Insert your SD card into your 3DS
- Turn the 3DS on
- Open the Homebrew Launcher
- Open ftpd
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
(ip):(port) into the host name/IP address box, e.g. 192.168.0.67:5000
- 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 3DS via FTP! |
FAQ
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- Additionally, SMBv1 is heavily outdated, now a major security risk, and disabled by default on modern installations of Windows.
- microSD Management can cause random file corruption in use.
