Wii U:FTP

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

Luckily, with custom firmware, 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

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.
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!
