Select Automatic, Do Not Use and Enable. Push X to save the settings. Test connection to verify you can acquire an IP Address. Internet Connection should fail.
Open your FTP Sever on your PS3. I prefer BlackB0x FTP 1.2 , but you can use MultiMAN or other types if you wish. It should tell you your IP Address is 10.1.1.2 .
Step 3: FTP Client Setup
Open your FTP client (anyone will do, eg SmartFTP or FileZilla) and type in your PS3 IP (10.1.1.2) and make sure its on Port 21. IF you used a FTP server other than BlackB0x FTP 1.2, check if it needs credentials to work. Connect and begin transferring.
Speeds should be very high as your connected directly to your PS3.[font=Font type:c3a357710f]
Lan Ftp Game Files To Ps3 Using Mac Pc
After installing the new HDD, you will be prompted to either format the internal drive or reinstall the firmware, depending on whether your console is NAND/NOR. Then you can FTP your roms and iso games back to your PS3. Another option is to connect the old HDD directly to your PC and use PS3 HDD Reader to backup its content.
