Hi all,
DSFTP 2.2 is out. Get it at http://giesler.biz/bjoern/en/sw_dsftp.html.
Noteworthy changes:
o Stupid bug fixed that broke GBAMP support. (Thanks a lot to sgstair and chishm for help!)
o Booting verified to work on SuperCard and GBAMP, and should work on much more. This means just about everybody can now upload and auto-boot their stuff directly in DSFTP.
o Safe power-off button combo added to prevent (rare) FAT corruption.
o CDUP command added by request.
o Built with devkitpro R19b
o More bugfixes.
On the topic of bug reports: reports via email are much preferred to reports posted in the forum, because I can track them much better that way. My email address is right there on DSFTP's GUI. Please include as much information as you can: What you see on the screen, the log output, your hardware configuration, DSFTP version used, etc.
As always, donations are welcome. :-) My Paypal address is the same as my email address.
Have fun!
Regards,
Bj?rn

Works on M3CF. I used FlashFXP and sent the raw command "BOOT /pworm.nds", while the backlights were off. Pizza Worm started and the backlights were still off. I get around 32KB/s when transfering to the DS. Only about 5KB/s when downloading from the DS but I would rarely need to do that.

I can confirm that, booting works fine but it's kind of annoying that the backlight is disabled.

Yay, works perfectly with my GBAMP now! Thanks! :D

It doesn't seem to work well for me however. Here's an issue that I reported to the author via e-mail:
- Start DSFTP 2.2 on a DS Lite with a GBAMP v2 CF.
- Connect to your DS using Mozilla Firefox on Microsoft Windows 2000.
- Enter your name and password.
Result: File listing. - Press Up and Down on the DS's Control Pad.
Result: Log scrolls. - In Firefox, click one of the displayed folder names.
Result: Nothing. - Press Up and Down on the DS's Control Pad.
Result: Nothing. The DS is wedged.

Similar problems with my fat DS and GBAMP v2 CF and linux gftp ftp client.
#104741 - bjoerngiesler - Mon Oct 02, 2006 7:25 am
Many folks noticed that DSFTP 2.2 is rather unstable compared to 2.0. I will look into it and hopefully release a stable version soon.

gonna agree that this is less stable.
I can connect, but when I try to transfer files from PC to DS I get this message on the DS
accept() failed. Sockets exhausted?
Message was: accept(16) failed with 342xxxx (errno 22)
where xxxx are numbers (different everytime)
that'll just kill everything, can't safe poweroff and can get out of screensaver (black screen)
#104754 - bjoerngiesler - Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:42 am
Hi all,
OK, I found the bug (or at least a workaround for it). Please get the new version at
http://giesler.biz/~bjoern/en/sw_dsftp.html
Please do not use 2.2 anymore. It's severely buggy and may very well wreck your file system.
Sorry 'bout that. Serves me right for not testing good enough.

Version 2.21 works much better on my fat DS, GBAMP v2, linux gftp client combination.
Successfully upload a file, downloaded a file and booted a file.
Fine work.
A few of things:
If I upload a file it does not immediately appear in the directory listing for the CF card and, therefore, I cannot download it.
The meteos E3 demo does not boot but my homebrew stuff does.
The upload speed (PC to DS) is about 30 KB/s (reasonable for a 1-2 Mbit wireless link) but download speed is about 3-5 KB/s. Is this what other people see? Capturing the download frames on the PC there appears to be lots of duplicate TCP ACKs and suspected TCP retransmissions. Maybe dswifi library doing something strange? What version is the DSFTP.nds linked against?

Strange... works here.

What format is the Meteos demo? (Do you have a link where I can download it?)

I get about 90KB/s PC->DS and 5KB/s DS->PC. Talking to sgstair confirms that's about OK. I also noticed lots of duplicate packets. DSFTP is using DSWifi 0.3b.

You can get the meteos demo from http://wiki.akkit.org/Downloadable_DS_Demos.
I find the asymmetric behaviour of the speeds of the transfer strange. I will have a look into it.
#104825 - tepples - Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:00 pm
DSFTP 2.21 works much better. Two minor issues:
AXE boots, but the DSFTP log was left on the Touch Screen for the rectangle to erase.
Before starting the program, DSFTP should close the control connection nicely rather than letting it time out.

I have had problems like this with GFTP as well. Sometimes the file will not show up, or sometimes (this one is very odd), it will get put on the card but won't have the right file name. It often takes the name of a file I deleted from the card previously. I am not even sure how this is possible, but it has happened about 5 times since I started using DSFTP.
There was another problem I noted but I could not really track down. Occasionally when putting a file on the card with DSFTP and then reading that same card in my card reader, any attempt to delete the uploaded file from my Linux machine will cause I/O errors and a message about the file being read-only. But if I then take the card and put it into a Windows machine, not only is the file not marked as read-only, but it deletes without an issue.

Sorry about the stupid question, I am a newbie to this.
What does "BOOT /pworm.nds" do? What does BOOT command do?
And is there a list of all commands?
Thanks.

I've seen this before on my SC CF. It has always been the fault of a previously-corrupted file system, which FATlib, Windows and Linux have very different opinions about.
Make sure your card is FS-checked. Also, do not switch off your DS while there's a transfer in progress. The new key combination for safe shutdown seems to be the best bet for this.

Have been looking at the dswifi library's TCP implementation. It appears to send data it has already sent along with new data, wasting bandwidth and leading to poor download performance.
Done a quick hack and get download performance of about 30+ KB/s, i.e. the similar to the upload performance I was getting.
Not all good though as small parts of the downloaded file get corrupted and I have knackered the upload (the TCP window keeps reaching zero). If I get it sorted I will pass on the changes for sgstair to look at.
EDIT:
The slow upload speed seens to have been caused by a buggered FAT filesystem.
The 'rename' command does not work for me. DSFTP locks up half way through the operation leaving the original file intacted. A new file is partly created (the name appears in a directory listing) but not properly (it has no size and Moonshell complains that the FAT is bad).
| masscat wrote: |

My mistake, gftp maintains a cache of the directory listing. You can clear this with "clear cache" and then the file appears.

Rename is implemented as copy and erase. Maybe the card is full? It works here for fairly large files.

Maybe my CF card has got itself into a strange state again.
Got download working correctly.
For anybody who is interested, I have made a patch file against the dswifi library CVS (as of today, 2006-10-05). Change into the dswifi directory and apply the patch with | Code: |

Sometimes create folder doesn't work.
I am using filezilla, sometimes I use the create folder function. The folder doesn't really created. Happens aboout 40% chance. I use folder name: GAMES
Mine is M3 Lite with SanDisk Ultra II 1GB
And they are right, it will use the previous file name. But under M3 -> extend -> mu disk, the filename could be shown correctly, but now the original menu -> game
File still cannot be correctly transfered to it. I already forced filezilla to use binary file transfer, but still. Also tried xp command-line ftp app. Did bin command before put file. But same problem with my M3 lite.
My file system is FAT32.
Thanks.

this program sounds awesome and handy cause then i can slack and not have to keep switching the mini sd card around to copy/delete files... but then i can't seem to get it to work
it can load up and get connected properly but then the thing is when i try to actually copy/move/delete/rename file/folder it doesn't work... it just... get stuck and freezes lol

I can connect and upload a file to the server (using NetDrive to assign a drive letter to the ftp connection and using Game Manager to write the file),
but the files don't start. Any ideas why.

Hi,
This is my experience with DSFTP 2.21 and my M3 card. It might be useful for the creator:
As many others users, I can transfer files but once they are uploaded they remain unusable.
So, I tried to upload a simple .TXT and then I compared the original with the corrupted one.
The original was as follows:

Great Work @masscat !
Your patch works very well for me. I get ~80KBps(!) in DS -> PC ! Much more than i expected.
Maybe you could figure out how to get this wonderful speed for PC -> DS !?

80kb/s opens up a lot of possibilitys...

I can see the use for this program, but when it messes up all the data it's unusable, so I hope a new version is coming out very soon!
ps. My speed PC -> DS is about 15Kb, but the speed DS -> PC is almost none 8-(

It does make the DS -> PC transfer much more usable.
Just a word of warning. Take care with the patch as it is more a proof of concept than a well thought out implementation. Keep an eye on it if you use it in other projects.
I have seen it not transmit data, requiring a timeout (no bytes were lost), and reducing performance when using it with my gdb stub.
Also the increase in speed is only when using TCP (UDP does not have a speed problem as far as I know).

At those speeds streaming becomes much more usefull, I was thinking.
