Swiss has a built-in FTP client that allows you to connect to a PC and download files to the console. This is different from most systems that have an FTP server that you connect to with a PC.

Using FTP

  1. Create a directory on your PC that you want to serve files from.
  2. Download xlight FTP server and extract xlight.exe to the directory you created. Run xlight.exe.
    • If prompted with a Firewall warning, choose the option to allow it on your private network.
  3. Click the "New Virtual Server" button. Click OK to accept the default options.
  4. Double-click the newly created server (e.g. 0.0.0.0) and select "Public Path" and then the + button. Enter the following settings and click OK:
    • Virtual Path: /
    • Real path: (filepath to the folder you want to serve)
    • Permission: Check all options.
  5. Click OK to return to the server listing. Click the "User List" button and then Add. Set a username and password (e.g. gamecube for both). Set / as the home directory, click the Permission button, and enable all permissions.
  6. Click OK twice to return to the server listing. Select the server and click the "Run Server" button.
  7. Right-click the server and choose "Server Network Interfaces". It will list the IP addresses associated with your PC. Note the one for your network, e.g. 192.168.0.5.
  8. In Swiss, open the network settings page and set your "FTP Host IP" to the IP of your PC as well as the username and password you set.
  9. Press B and then A to change device. Scroll over to the "File Transfer Protocol" option and press A. It should connect and list the files being served from your PC.
