DS 101: Running an FTP server on your Nintendo DS

microsd Here’s a scenario for you: it’s a long holiday weekend, you’ve got some Nintendo DS ROMs that you want to copy to your TransFlash/MicroSD card, and you just realize that you’ve forgotten your TransFlash/MicroSD reader for easy copying.

It would  be easy to assume that there’s no hope, but actually there is: DS-FTP for the DS is a great way to FTP files to and from your flash card.

Keep in mind that the maximum transfer speed of the Nintendo DS WiFi connection is about 20kbp/s, so unless you’re transferring some really small homebrew NDS games onto your Games ‘n Music cart, you’ll have to find something else to do to kill time.

But hey, at least not all hope is lost.
