DSFTP v1.6: An FTP Server for the Nintendo DS

DSFTP is a homebrew project by Bjoern Giesler. It’s an FTP server for the Nintendo DS, and he describes it as “a full-fledged FTP server, with the additional ability to boot .nds files directly from the FTP prompt (currently only tested on SuperCard CF)”.

It’s an interesting concept (we had a recent article on a PSP FTP server), but you might not want to play around with it if you’re not familiar with FTP server mysteries. But if you are, here’s the info you need from Bjoern:

This is a proof-of-concept FTP server for the NDS. It is based on a stand-alone C++ FTP server class, whose primary purpose is to make it easy to upload and run NDS programs from a host computer. The main limitations are:

• Only one simultaneous FTP connection
• Only passive FTP mode supported; data port always at 9999
• Naive data transfer implementation, resulting in slow RECV speed
• Performance-tested using only the following clients (not sure how it will perform using other clients):
• Command-line FTP
• RBrowser Lite on Mac
• Firefox

And this is from the v1.6 changelog:

• Cosmetics: Screen saver, bottom screen turned off altogether
• Output IP address on startup
• POWR command added
• Even more bugs fixed

There are more information on the configuration and settings in the included .rtf and .pdf files.
