Thanks for the tuto, otherwise it also works with FireFTP, which integrates into FireFox.

Okay okay.

But I don't know how to configure it to be compatible with the Wii, so I can't make a tutorial with this software.

I'd add a section to your tutorial.

If the person installs DVDx in advanced mode with the ISO249, they can use a very interesting function.

In FTPii, you can mount the DVD drive using the B button and then the down arrow. (you need to have DVDx installed with ISO249). Then, when you connect with the FTP client, you'll see a folder named /wod appear. In this folder, you'll find an IMG format file bearing the name of the original game inserted in the Wii's drive. In my case, I tested with Mario Kart Wii so I saw the file named RMCE01 MarioKartWii (Wii) [USA].img appear

So, you can queue this file for download to your computer which will give you in the end an image of the disc in the Wii's drive in IMG format that can be burned with Nero or ImgBurn or several other programs.

And the interesting thing in all this, thanks to FTPii and an FTP client software that supports file resuming, you can stop the transfer whenever you want and resume it later! Isn't that wonderful! Go add that to your tutorial!

Oh and it also easily supports dual layer...

Hehehe

Aaah so basically, this lets you dump a game over Wi-Fi to your computer?

EDIT: Could you make a tutorial in the same style as my tutorials?
Because personally I didn't quite understand :? so I don't think I'd be able to make a proper tutorial about it.

Yes, the new version of FTPii does that, so by using DVDx, you can make not only the SD card appear but also a folder to the wii's drive with a nice disk image of the DVD inside!

And the wonderful thing, cut the transfer, you can continue it later.

But it's also used to send new files to the SD card.

Yes USB devices and SD card.

But Korn told me on MSN, that he had problems with USB and the SD card.

So I don't know.

It's a shame, because it's nice to be able to pause and resume your download, I think my tutorial on the dump I'll do it with FTPii.

has anyone recorded transfer values between the wii and the pc? Just to know if for dumps, it's better to use ftpii or dvd-dumper. ;)
Ouais, a quand un emulateur PS3, sur ma Wii. :)

I might come across as an idiot :D but what exactly is FTPii for? Thanks ;)

EDIT: it's been a while since I asked this question and I haven't gotten an answer from you... what could FTPii possibly be used for?

I never managed to get ftpii working with my hard drive which has 3 partitions. It doesn't detect it :cry:
