ezRemote Client

ezRemote Client is an application that allows you to connect the PS3 to remote FTP, SMB(Windows Share), NFS, WebDAV, HTTP servers to transfer files. The interface is inspired by Filezilla client which provides a commander like GUI.

Features

• Transfer files back and forth between PS3 and FTP/SMB/NFS/WebDAV/HTTP server
  • Support for connecting to Http Servers like (Apache,Nginx,RClone,Microsoft IIS, NPX Serve) with html directory listings.
• Install PKG files from any remote Server. This will automatically download the PKG to the PS3 and install the rap/rif files if any found. Creates the install bubble in the "PlayStation Network Content" of Package Manager.
  • The rap/rif files must be in the same folder or in a exdata sub folder where the PKG file exists on the remote server. If a rif file already exists in the PS3 account, the rif file won't be replaced. See example screenshot
  • In the application settings dialog, you have the option of chosing the PS3 account for installation of the rap/rif files
  • For WebDAV and HTTP Servers, you have the option to enable Backgroud downloads. Just like PS3 PKGi, you need to restart the PS3 for background downloads to start.
• Create Zip files
• Extract from zip, rar, 7zip, tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 files
• File management function include cut/copy/paste/rename/delete/new folder/file for files on PS3.
• Simple Text Editor to make simply changes to config text files. Limited to edit files below 32kb and limited to edit lines up to 512 characters. If you try edit lines longer then 512 characters, it will be truncated. For common text files with the following extensions (txt, log, ini, json, xml, html, conf, config) selecting them in the file browser with the X button will automatically open the Text Editor.

Usage

To distinguish between FTP, SMB, NFS, WebDAV or HTTP, the URL must be prefix with ftp://, smb://, nfs://, webdav://, webdavs://, http:// and https://

• The url format for FTP is

  ftp://hostname[:port]
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 21(ftp) if not provided
  

• The url format for SMB(Windows Share) is

  smb://hostname[:port]/sharename
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 445 if not provided
    - sharename is required
  

• The url format for NFS is

  nfs://hostname[:port]/export_path[?uid=<UID>&gid=<GID>]
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 2049 if not provided
    - export_path is required
    - uid is the UID value to use when talking to the server. Defaults to 65534 if not specified.
    - gid is the GID value to use when talking to the server. Defaults to 65534 if not specified.
  
    Special characters in 'path' are escaped using %-hex-hex syntax.
  
    For example '?' must be escaped if it occurs in a path as '?' is also used to
    separate the path from the optional list of url arguments.
  
    Example:
    nfs://192.168.0.1/my?path?uid=1000&gid=1000
    must be escaped as
    nfs://192.168.0.1/my%3Fpath?uid=1000&gid=1000
  

• The url format for WebDAV is

  webdav://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
  webdavs://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 80(webdav) and 443(webdavs) if not provided
    - url_path is optional based on your WebDAV hosting requiremets
  

• The url format for HTTP Server is

  http://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
  https://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 80(http) and 443(https) if not provided
    - url_path is optional based on your HTTP Server hosting requiremets
  

• For Internet Archive repos download URLs

  • Only supports parsing of the download URL (ie the URL where you see a list of files). Example

Tested with following WebDAV server:

• (Recommeded) Rclone - For hosting your own WebDAV or HTTP server. (Recommended since this allow you to setup rclone as a proxy for many public file share websites like mega, google drive, onedrive etc.. https://rclone.org/#providers)
• Dufs - For hosting your own WebDAV server.
• SFTPgo - For local hosted WebDAV server. Can also be used as a webdav frontend for Cloud Storage like AWS S3, Azure Blob or Google Storage.
• box.com (Note: delete folder does not work. This is an issue with box.com and not the app)
• mega.nz (via the megacmd tool)
• 4shared.com
• drivehq.com
