ftpiiu - A ftp server plugin for the Wii U based on ftpd

Installation

([ENVIRONMENT] is a placeholder for the actual environment name.)

1. Copy the file ftpiiu.wps into sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/plugins.
2. Requires the WiiUPluginLoaderBackend in sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/modules.

Usage information and settings

• By default, the FTPiiU server is running as long the plugin loaded (file is in the plugin directory of your environment).
• Access to the system files is disabled by default, you can enable it in the config menu.
• To connect to the server you can use empty credentials
• The SD card can be accessed via /fs/vol/external01/

Via the plugin config menu (press L, DPAD Down and Minus on the gamepad) you can configure the plugin. The available options are the following:

• Settings:
  • Enable FTPiiU:
    • Starts/Stops the ftp server which is running in the background. Changes take effect when so close the config menu. (Default is true).
  • Allow access to system files:
    • Allows you to access all system files. If this option is disabled, you can only access /fs/vol/content, /fs/vol/save and /fs/vol/external01 (SD card). Changes take effect when so close the config menu, but the server may restart. (Default is false).
• Additionally, the config menu will display the IP of your console and the port the server is running at.

See the ftpd repository for a list of all supported commands.

Logging

Logs will only appear in the system log (OSReport).
