OpenPS3FTP v4.0 PS3 FTP Homebrew App Updates by Jjolano

Following the previous revisions, PlayStation 3 homebrew developer jjolano recently released OpenPS3FTP v4.0 with some additional updates complete with the changes and source code below.

To quote from the ReadMe.txt file: OpenPS3FTP is an open source FTP server for the PlayStation 3. It supports the basic FTP commands that the typical user would need to transfer files in and out of their console.

It also provides read/write access to the console's flash partition, by mounting /dev_blind.

Currently, this server is optimized for stability over performance. A performance benefit is possible, but it seems libsysfs isn't cooperating.

Known issues:

• Occasionally, file transfers do not register as complete. Seems to be more of an I/O problem with the PS3, but maybe fixable with libsysfs.
• There is a limit to how many times a file or folder object can be created over the runtime of the app. Might be a kernel limit and thus not fixable. The workaround is to relaunch the app.

From the Github page are the changes, to quote: Version 4.0

This is what version 3.0 should have been. However, version 3.0 was written dev_blindly since I wasn't able to test it at all. Now that I'm able to make homebrews again, here's a fresh release of OpenPS3FTP!

Hope it isn't too late.

Would be great if PSL1GHT's libsysfs wasn't so wonky, since that will actually provide an additional performance boost over the vastly increased stability this release brings.

Version 4.0a

Fixed and improved a few things.

Version 4.0b

Implemented libsysfs for improved performance.

Another update to OpenPS3FTP v4.3 with revisions by jjolano via GitHub and the changes below, as follows:

Version 4.3

This major update is focused on increasing performance and stability. Code optimizations were made to improve efficiency overall. See the changelog for more details.

As per v4.2b, PS3NTFS is required to enable NTFS support with openps3ftp.sprx. openps3ftp_ntfs.sprx already includes PS3NTFS code. Should there be more support for the PS3NTFS plugin (such as webMAN/sMAN linking to PS3NTFS instead of libntfs), the openps3ftp_ntfs.sprx build will be dropped in future releases.

Edit: The new code optimizations seem to have an issue with PS3NTFS. Please use openps3ftp_ntfs.sprx if you require NTFS support, and disable PS3NTFS until next update.

Version 4.3a

A quick update to fix a crashing issue with NTFS. The optimizations made in version 4.3 have been rewritten a bit more carefully. No update to PS3NTFS required.

Some more OpenPS3FTP updates by jjolano via GitHub and the changes below, as follows:

Version 4.4 (Experimental Release 1)

Assets

• openps3ftp-v4.4-experimental.1.zip
• openps3ftp.sprx
• Source code (zip)
• Source code (tar.gz)

This release adds experimental multithreading support which may improve performance at the cost of stability. It has not gone through extensive testing, so it shouldn't be expected to work reliably.

Builds for Cobra SPRX and EBOOT.BIN are included.

Version 4.4 (Experimental Release 2)

Assets

• openps3ftp-v4.4-experimental.2.zip
• openps3ftp.sprx
• Source code (zip)
• Source code (tar.gz)

This release addresses some stability issues.

Version 4.4 (Experimental Release 3)

Assets

• openps3ftp-e1090e7.zip
• openps3ftp.sprx
• openps3ftp_ntfs.sprx
• openps3ftp_ps3ntfs.sprx
• Source code (zip)
• Source code (tar.gz)

This release addresses even more stability issues.

Potential Issue: The EBOOT version seems to fail when setting up the server socket, at least on my system (4.81.2 rebug)

• PS3NTFS build is included here, you will need the same PS3NTFS SPRX to run this edition.
• NTFS build is also included if you do not use the shared PS3NTFS plugin.
