Ftpd 3DS

ftpd is a FTP Server for 3DS/Switch/Linux/NDS.

Features

• Appears to work well with a variety of clients.
• Supports multiple simultaneous clients. The 3DS itself only appears to support enough sockets to perform 4-5 simultaneous data transfers, so it will help if you limit your FTP client to this many parallel requests.
• Cutting-edge graphics (Dear ImGui backend).
• Exit on NDS/3DS with START button.
• Toggle backlight on NDS/3DS with SELECT button.
• Emulation of a /dev/zero (/devZero) device for network performance testing:
  • Example retrieve curl ftp://192.168.1.115:5000/devZero -o /dev/zero
  • Example send curl -T /dev/zero ftp://192.168.1.115:5000/devZero
