About ftpd

Start it and connect from an FTP client on your computer. More than one client can connect at once, but the 3DS only has sockets for four or five transfers at a time, so set your client to that many parallel transfers or fewer.

The normal build has a Dear ImGui interface. ftpd-classic is the same server with a plain text console. There's an ftpd.nds build for DS mode as well.

- Start: exit
- Select: backlight on or off
- X: edit text with the on-screen keyboard
- Y: open the menu

Username, password, port and compression level can be set from the client with SITE commands, and SITE SAVE keeps them. SITE MTIME turns on file timestamps, but directory listings get slow with it.
