DSFTP
Today I decided to try out the DSFTP program on my new DS Lite. Its basically an FTP server program. In the end I decided to get rid of it. It was a bit difficult to get it working. I had to google around to find out that you need to use the "patch moonshell for supercard.exe" on the NDS file to get it actually working for the Supercard Lite. And once I did get an IP I tried to use the ftp program that came with Windows... no luck So I tried to use the FireFTP extension for firefox and that did work. At that point I tried to upload a file. The speed was approximately 45 kilobytes per second which was horrendously slow. Its not the fault of the program, but with the DS hardware itself from what I read in the forums. The DS Lite hardware only goes as fast as 2Mbits per second. So I am back to using my USB reader/writer in the end afterall.

The author of dsftp releases it with supercard compatibility only.
But it supports dldi, so any card that supports dldi (R4DS etc) can just patch the dsftp.nds file using the correct dldi file, and a patching program from here:

This is the best thing for a homebrew ds developer to do, it lets the developer concentrate on making one release which can be paytched to work on any flash card.
