# FTP server

The FTP server gives read and write access to the whole storage over Wi-Fi, so you can copy cards and game files without removing the microSD card.

## Enabling

Under **Settings**, enable **FTP Server** and set a username and password. The server does not start until both are set.

## Connecting

| Setting     | Value                    |
| ----------- | ------------------------ |
| Host        | The device's IP address  |
| Port        | 21                       |
| Encryption  | None (plain FTP)         |
| Mode        | Passive (data port 2024) |
| Connections | 1                        |

In FileZilla, set **Transfer settings > Limit number of simultaneous connections** to 1.

## Notes

* Transfers pause while the console is writing to the card.
* Do not replace the file of the card that is currently mounted; mount a different card first.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://8bitmods.gitbook.io/manuals/wireless/ftp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
