Wii U:FTP

FTP is a way to transfer files wirelessly through a network to and from the Wii .

Luckily, with FTPiiU, we can use this method to transfer files wirelessly to a Wii U instead of moving the SD card back and forth each time.

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

The FTPiiU plugin can be downloaded via the Aroma Updater. The instructions below are if you want to manually install it.

Download the latest release of FTPiiU.
Extract the contents of ftpiiu_v0_3_1.zip to wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins.
Insert your SD card back into your Wii U.
- If the console wasn't already off, Reboot the console after doing so.
To see your Wii U's IP, Open the plugins menu by pressing L + DPAD DOWN + Select, and you'll see it in the FTPiiU tab.

FTPiiU doesn't need to be launched on Aroma. It is a plugin, so it works automatically anywhere on the console.

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 GamePad or TV (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: Usually 21 by default, so leave it blank
  - If you don't see this option, instead type (ip):(port) into the host name/IP address box, e.g. 192.168.0.67:21
- 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 Wii U via FTP!
