#* 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
#* Username/password: If you see a checkbox for "Anonymous login", then enable it; otherwise, just leave it blank
# Click "Login" or "Connect"
