User guide
You can perform the following functions using this homebrew:

- Download files from a web server.
- Transfer files between different consoles / devices (even 3DS<->3DS).
- Install a CIA file from another 3DS in combination with the FTP Installer integrated in NASA.

Instant server config
If you plain to use this homebrew with the same server all the times, you can consider to edit the index.lua file (lines 2-6) to automatically start FileKong with your configuration saving you time editing them manually all the times.
Note that if you're using CIA build, the index.lua file is inside romfs partition of the homebrew so it could be quite hard to edit it if you're not a bit experienced in such things.
