Piracy is bad, we advocate only backing up games which are already owned by you, the user.
-
The gerenal rules of reddit apply here but are not limited to; no doxxing, no threatening violence, etc. These actions will be met with an immediate ban
-
No selling links to game downloads. No asking people to pay for you to download and dump a game. No monetization links such as adfly or other revenue generating links. This will get you banned.
-
Direct links to downloads located on private servers (anything but a public file host) require mod approval. This includes sites which require a login and or password.
-
Links that require a password, have click thru links or that require a special account to access require mod approval. These would include Password ZIP files, Baidu links and linking to a secondary site that uses any of the previously mentioned features. Failure to get approval will get the links removed and you may lose posting privileges.

If you ask a question that is answered in the EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW thread, it will get be deleted. Repeated infractions may result in a ban.

Requests should be directed to the appropriate thread above. All low level requests (can someone dump, can I have this save) will be removed if not posted to the Megathreads.
-
Please try to keep posts Vita related please. There's no reason to be posting about 3DS or PS4 (unless it's somehow related to the Vita).

English only please.

Haha, that's really helpful, thanks! You went the extra extra mile! I swear I did try Ghost Commander the last time I had to FTP from phone to PSV and it didn't work... guess I found out about the VPN issue after exploring other apps and then forgot to try Ghost Commander without VPN.
Thanks again, really appreciate it!
edit: so, I tried Ghost Commander like you suggested, but I still couldn't access the FTP. What I did to make it work, though, was to simply disconnect my phone from cellular data, turn off VPN (and untoggle "always on VPN" and "block connections without VPN") and then turn on hotspot. This did the trick and I managed to finally use FTP. Haven't tried Amaze, but I have no reason to think it doesn't work this way.
Must be some weird shenanigans going on between my ROM/VPN/file manager combo. In future I'll just remember to basically do FTP offline without VPN!
Thanks though!
Nice, I'm glad you managed to make it work your way! For my part I'll be on the lookout for that "always on VPN" setting next time I set up something network-related, that might have been the cause of some unexplained troubleshooting sessions in the past.
Btw, after reading your post I gave Amaze another shot, but regardless of what I tried, with and without VPN, anonymous mode on/off and all that jazz, the PSV folders simply wouldn't appear. So just a heads-up, I don't really know what's going on there.
Edit: typo.
I got curious and tried Amaze again as well, no luck on my side either: I can connect to the server but it doesn't actually show the various directories. Must be some bug or incompatibility between the two, considering it hasn't been updated in a very long time.
Looks like Ghost Commander is the only working FOSS option, after all; really, never judge a book by its cover haha
Thanks again!
