This fork makes an older version (2.3.0) compatible with the latest switch dev toolkit since the older version crashed on the latest atmosphere but the newer versions of ftpd are missing some FTP commands that I need. See v2.3.0-updated branch

FTP Server for 3DS/Switch/Linux.

• 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.

• Exit on NDS/3DS with START button

• Exit on Switch with PLUS button

• Toggle backlight on NDS/3DS with SELECT button

• Toggle backlight on Switch with MINUS 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

ftpd uses Dear ImGui as its graphical backend.

Standard Dear ImGui controller inputs are supported.

• A
  • Activate/Open/Toggle
  • Tweak value with D-Pad (+ L/R to tweak slower/faster)
• B
  • Cancel/Close/Exit
• X
  • Edit text / on-screen keyboard
• Y
  • Tap: Toggle menu
  • Hold + L/R: Focus windows
• Left Stick
  • Scroll
  • Move window (when holding Y)
• D-Pad
  • Move
  • Tweak values (when activated with A)
  • Resize window (when holding Y)

Classic builds use a console instead of Dear ImGui.
