Title Data Unavailable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of ftpii are you using? Latest with System Menu 4.0.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start ftpii
2. Attempt to browse data for titles with any external FTP client.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect 'data' to be
a folder, instead, it is a file that I cannot view.

This is a permissions issue that is tricky to overcome.

As a workaround, you can install a patched IOS such as Waninkoko's cIOS (e.g. 
rev9 or
rev10) and tell DVDx to use this IOS version - cIOS has the permissions checks
patched to allow access to these directories.

I figured as much, but the thought of manually replacing the system menu IOS 
always -
excuse my language - scared the living shit out of me. Can you research how 
Waninkoko
accessed the title directories in his Savegame Installer/Extractor? I can use 
that on
my system with menu 4.0...

Yes, replacing the system menu IOS is a really bad idea - I don't suggest doing 
that.
 Installing cIOS or patchmii will not replace the sysmenu IOS, though, it will
install a new IOS as e.g. IOS249 or IOS254.

When you insert a game disc and call DI_OpenPartition before calling 
ISFS_Initialize,
you are given permission to read the data/ directory for that title.  I'd say 
this is
how Waninkoko's stuff works - it makes you insert the disc, right?  I could 
make use
of this in ftpii but you would have to insert the disc for the title you want to
read, not very convenient...

Oh, so... the new IOS would be a completely different location in the NAND? 
Good. I'm
still scared, but I guess I'll research cIOS some more tomorrow.

I think that feature would be good for those of us who were foolish enough to 
upgrade
to 4.0.

Also, you reminded me, my system will mount the DVD, but it will not initialize 
any
filesystems and will not allow me to read or write data.

Why not make it so you could select to mount the whole DVD normally (for those 
without 4.0) or insert the DVD and read the /data/ directory so you can access 
it in 
ISFS (for those with 4.0)?
