have you ever used ftp before? (not trying to be insulting just curious... i'm starting to realize that a lot of "younger" folks don't know what ftp is and us "older" folks used to live off of ftp!!!)

it makes it so you can transfer files back and forth from your wii to your pc.

it creates an FTP server on your wii and then using your pc you use your favorite ftp client to connect to the wii and copy/move/erase files on your sd card without having to take it out.

What you need:

FTPii (which you'll start up whenever you want to use it)
an ftp client on your pc (to use to connect to your wii)

basically, anytime you take your sd card out of your wii to put it into your pc to add / remove files from it (roms, video, mp3s, homebrew that you can't get from the HBB) you can do the same with ftpii and not have to take your sd card out... you would just start ftpii on your wii and transfer away.

Everyone from xbox-scene would laugh at this thread. I couldn't even begin to count the number of ftp tutorials. Explaining to kids how to download from xbins. If you haven't been to xbins.org check it out! The ftp server now has some hard to find Wii stuff.

@cactusjack901, When did you learn to read? I first got Internet at home the winter of 1993-1994. Windows 95 came with a built in tcp/ip stack. If you where on a BBS. You where way behind the times. I can remember in 1991 getting new BBS phone numbers from friends at school. Then running home to beg my parents to let me make long distance calls.

where is the wii stuff on xbins.org? i cant find it...do i have to log in over ftp to find it?

EDIT: nevermind, found it when i logged in over ftp. man, there is a lot of illegal stuff on there. IOS WADs, System Menu WADs, System Channel WADs, cIOS WADs, SoftMii (multiple versions), RiskiiMod, WADder (old illegal versions), illegal custom channels...the list goes on. I thought they were against illegal stuff. Is there anyway I can report that stuff to them as illegal?
