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

On your PC:

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 Wii:

Insert your SD card or USB drive into your Wii and launch ftpii from the Homebrew Channel.

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
- 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!
