FTP support?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was thinking you could incorperate the ftpii source code, and add in a ftp 
function, connecting to sd card. YOU MIGHT NEVER NEED TO TAKE THE SD CARD OUT 
OF THE WII AGAIN! :D

I am not sure about this. Also joedj would have to be ok with this. 

Why do/would you need an ftp access anyway?

It could become the ULTIMATE SD MANAGER

Do you mean help in like giving the needed information about it or taking over 
that
part of code?

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 3 Jan 2010 at 1:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Both, 

The dev. of the graphical interface is longer than the protocol itself. 

For the interface design, i need some help. The design of your homebrew is 
fine. For
the others part I can participate. 

The source of combox were removed from my server, I re-install it in few days in
order that you check the level of developper I am.

I am fine with that. Sure would be nice to have someone helpout again, 
especially
since r-win is busy with private stuff and mainly coding for the usbloadergx 
now.

About the help from my side that's of course no problem. I am though busy right 
now
with my bachelor thesis and can't work much on the app the next 4 month, but i 
am
available on IRC mostly for questions. If that's ok with you, come visit our IRC
channel (described on the main site) and we can talk about everything else you 
might
wanna know.

The FTP version is available on 

http://www.4shared.com/file/195638591/7aaa78c9/boot.html

ported from NDS with all options. 

The only think i did'nt resolve is the way to cancel the server listening... To 
quit
either reset or send a new command to the wii "RESET" with the ftp client. 

Good pratice

thanks for making it. i will test it later.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 13 Jan 2010 at 9:09

[GoogleCodeExporter]

ftp client is on the way, 

but i have to modify wiixplorer sources to introduce a stub class to access 
either 
for localy wii files or remote files (ftp)

do you agree this proposal ?

Original comment by liloumas...@gmail.com on 14 Jan 2010 at 10:39

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Access wii files? Do you mean the wii nand? If so better not.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 14 Jan 2010 at 11:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tested the ftp server and it seems really nice. The pictures (browser 
background
and some others) seemed to be messed up though. Except that you can't close the
server by wiimote everything else is working really great.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 15 Jan 2010 at 6:01

I am sooooo glad I suggested this. :D

[GoogleCodeExporter]

liloumaster are you still on this?

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 31 Jan 2010 at 4:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes, but it is so easy as i expected

I try to use unblocking socket instead of blocking socket using timer functions.

for the moment the soft is not robust, too unsucessfull connexion success!! and
sometimes cpu fauts without any reason.  

i try some example discovered on googlecode but does work, i have a big issue 
for two
weeks : understand why the sleep() function or ticks_to_millisecs(gettime()) 
does not
work !! May be linked to the wiixplorer architecture ? No idea !! May be some 
help is
required 

Original comment by liloumas...@gmail.com on 1 Feb 2010 at 7:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Come on IRC if you need help and i'll try to help you. Both the sleep and
ticks_to_millisecs(gettime()) worked fine for me everytime. I don't know what 
is not
working for you.

omg ftp support would be really nice ! :)
One question: Is the speed better than in Ftpii? Because there I only get ~250 
KB/s

Original comment by moddingz...@gmx.net on 1 Feb 2010 at 9:29

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The speed you get from smb currently is up to 900KB/s read to PC and up to
500-600KB/s write speed to Wii.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 1 Feb 2010 at 9:37

[GoogleCodeExporter]

NICE
Much better than Ftpii!
Looking forward to a official release :)

Good job guys.  I can finally uninstall the FTPii channel when this version is 
out.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey liloumaster, good job releasing the ftp source. 

I got some stuff though:
1. Can you please get rid of the lots of compile warnings and redifinitions of 
some
stuff as far as possible?
2. The stopping of the ftp still isnt working correct. It freezes after the 
second
stop attempt sometimes and the ftp isnt working after stopping and starting for 
me.
3. It would be nice if the ftp starts with a selection of the device instead of
choosing the device and than start the ftp. Like having a virtual directory 
where the
devices are listed. I am going to add that later too for WiiXplorer normal 
browser.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 15 Feb 2010 at 10:22

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Couple of issues here:

1. When selecting the FTP view, the main window is shifted up and can't view 
the 
items at the top.  The bottom bar and buttons (go back and stop) are at the 
proper 
locations on screen, just seems there's extra space above those buttons pushing 
the 
main screen up too far.

2. For some reason, can't get FTP working at all.  It's got what appears to be 
the 
correct ID (cut off by the issue above), states waiting for connections, but 
when I 
try to connect from outside source it hangs and never makes a connection - 
Tried 
from WinSCP client and just through a browser window.  No problems establishnig 
FTP 
connection with FTPii...will play around with it more later and see if can get 
any 
further.

Original comment by cbu...@gmail.com on 15 Feb 2010 at 1:21

I can confirm issue #2 that cbugaj has above.

It gets correct IP and then I see:

* A new user has been created
Login:
Passwd:
Start directory SD:
* Server is listening!
Server succesfully started!:)
*Server is accepting incoming connexions !
*Server is accepting incoming connexions !

------

Server is accepting* message will repeat but I can not connect (using filezilla 
atleast)

Also see the screen shift up as in above, putting sd icon, wii icon and globe 
icons
at very top of screen (is there anything above those?)

Original comment by gould...@btopenworld.com on 15 Feb 2010 at 1:56

[GoogleCodeExporter]

correction of accept connexion
center the background image in the middle of the screen
correction of the stop & restart of ftp 
check fillezilla connection : working : take care that the wii does not detect 
the
disconnection, so stop and re-launch ftp when you disconnect client 
check winscp : working : but only ftp (non secure mode) and on port 21 
check : very slow tools
my favorite tools : fire ftp on firefox 

Original comment by liloumas...@gmail.com on 16 Feb 2010 at 12:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

doesen't work for me either...filezilla :\

Original comment by huntermc...@gmail.com on 16 Feb 2010 at 12:47

[GoogleCodeExporter]

even with r111.

Original comment by huntermc...@gmail.com on 16 Feb 2010 at 2:05

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Background image is better with r111 now thanks.  However, still can't 
establish FTP 
connection, no change from my previous attempt - just hangs and eventually 
times 
out.  Not using any special settings, just regular FTP / port 21, tried with 
both 
active and passive modes, no change.

Original comment by cmbu...@gmail.com on 16 Feb 2010 at 2:19

[GoogleCodeExporter]

same here.
Total Commander, Filezilla: Active and passive... both doesn't work
Also Win Explorer doesn't work

Original comment by moddingz...@gmx.net on 16 Feb 2010 at 3:54

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can now start and stop ftp as many times as needed without freezing.
Screen positioning is fixed.
I still can't connect as with others above though (filezilla, fire ftp :) )

Seeing:

*Server is accepting incoming connexions !
* Server stopped listening !
* A new user has been created
Login:
Passwd:
Start directory SD:
* Server is listening!
Server succesfully started!:)
*Server is accepting incoming connexions !
*Server is accepting incoming connexions !

BTW - Update went a bit wonky, seemed to update the .dol but whatever else it 
checks
for to see if its up-to-date didn't get changed? It updated, then asked to 
reboot (it
didn't do this) - when manually rebooted still asked to update (went into a 
loop of
doing this)

I can also confirm no-go on FTP, it seems to be working but nothing I try can 
connect
to it

Original comment by NReale3...@gmail.com on 17 Feb 2010 at 5:04

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't know what's going on?!....
R113 doesn't connect, however the second one (2boot.dol) you sent last night 
worked
no problem. 
NReale3370 are you on R113

Original comment by gould...@btopenworld.com on 17 Feb 2010 at 12:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

gouldyis could you test R112 please. It might be the difference in libogc that 
causes
it. I was compiling R113 and liloumaster was compiling you second dol and R112. 
So if
112 works than its the libogc and we at least know where the problem is.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 17 Feb 2010 at 12:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I get a lot further with r113, actually looks like it connects, but then it 
can't 
parse the directories on the card...can't find sd/ - Happens trying through FTP 
client or browser.

However in Windows if I just open a cmd promt and FTP to the wii that way, it 
will 
connect (although slowly) and display the files/direcoties on the card

[deleted comment]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tested r112 and r113 (both downloaded from here).
With both versions I get this: "425 Can't open data connection."

With earlier version I got a timeout.

I'm tried with:
> FileZilla 3.3.1
> FireFTP 1.0.7

Original comment by zenge...@gmail.com on 17 Feb 2010 at 9:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks for the report. So it is not the libogc difference. Than you gotta check 
what
it is liloumaster.

all same like ze...@live.de

Original comment by moddingz...@gmx.net on 17 Feb 2010 at 10:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OK me and Bauldrick found the reason why ftp isnt working. If you start the 
loader
with a stubbed IOS202 it won't work. So install the proper IOS202 from our 
download
section or the HermesV5!

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 18 Feb 2010 at 2:59

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hmm...Already running with Hermes v5 IOS202 installed.  Previously had the one 
from 
v4 installed and FTP wasn't connecting properly with that either.  Is the one 
on the 
download page here any different?  If so, I can try testing with that.

Original comment by cmbu...@gmail.com on 18 Feb 2010 at 4:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well than i don't know what it is. It works for me. I have the one in the 
download
section. It is an older version of Hermes IOS202.

Original comment by dimok...@hotmail.de on 18 Feb 2010 at 4:50

I'll try that one tonight and see if makes any difference.

If you can't get ftp to work try starting sendelf or wiiload and send a .dol to
wiixplorer - say no to load .dol on wiixplorer and then start ftp and it should
connect - I just replicated it a few times, if someone can confirm that maybe 
it will
help iron that out..
