'''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 to that method:

* 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* microSD Management uses an outdated protocol (~~SMB v1.0~~) that ~~constitutes~~ a security risk.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.

* microSD Management uses an outdated protocol (SMBv1) that [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/stop-using-smb1/ba-p/425858 is now considered to be a security risk]. It is therefore disabled by default on modern installations of Windows.

Luckily, with custom firmware, we can instead use FTP to transfer files wirelessly on both New3DS ''and'' Old3DS.
