ftpd for Nintendo Switch

Run an FTP server on your Switch to move files over your local network without removing the SD card.

Switch and FTP client on the same trusted local network. The app displays the address; the store documents port 5000.

These links preserve the verified version above. Check the linked release and your actual CFW/system version before installation.

1. Choose the NRO or complete bundleCopy ftpd.nro to sd:/switch/ftpd/, or extract the SD ZIP to the card root to retain both the normal and classic variants.
2. Start the server on SwitchConnect the Switch and your FTP client device to the same trusted local network. Open ftpd from hbmenu and read the address shown on its screen.
3. Connect with an FTP clientUse the displayed IP address and port; the store package documents port 5000. Follow the app’s actual settings if they differ. Keep the connection local.
4. Transfer and close cleanlyCopy a small file first and check its destination. Wait for transfers to finish, disconnect the client, then exit ftpd. Do not remove the card during a write.

Optional SD bundle also supplies:
sd:/switch/ftpd-classic/ftpd-classic.nro

If a connection fails, confirm both devices are on the same network and use the currently displayed address. Check client/firewall settings. FTP access is not the same as a web-browser download; no router port-forwarding is needed for local transfers.
