PS4:Transferring Files with FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) refers to a process that involves the transfer of files between devices over a network. The process works when one party allows another to send or receive files over the Internet. A exploited PS4 can have full access to the filesystem allowing swapping files, extracting files, sending files, etc.

List of FTP payloads

During its many iterations of jailbreaks with different firmware versions, the PS4 has multiple versions of FTP payloads with different firmware support, port and more. Note that some of these FTP payloads may need a external command (MTRW) to enable full-access to the filesystem!
