2.3. Copying SMS to your memory card (Independence/Modchip)

Figure 2.16. Screenshot of ExecFTPs running using custom IP configuration.
You can check that the connection between the PC and PS2 is working by starting a command prompt on the PC (start->run, 'cmd' <enter>). Then
type ping 192.168.0.10 (or whatever the IP address of your PS2 is). If it's working, you'll see reply from ... shown on the screen.
The configuration settings for ExecFTPs are stored in mc0:/BxDATA-SYSTEM/CONFIG.DAT, in the form:
<ps2_ip_address> <ps2_subnet_mask> <ps2_default_gateway>
If you do not have a mc0:/BxDATA-SYSTEM/CONFIG.DAT file, ExecFTPs will automatically use the following defaults:
PS2 Settings
PS2 IP Address: 192.168.0.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
mc0:/BxDATA-SYSTEM/CONFIG.DAT file not created
If you want to use a custom IP configuration, you will need to modify the file mc0:/BxDATA-SYSTEM/CONFIG.DAT. However, if you intend to use
FTP to copy a custom CONFIG.DAT file to your PS2, then you'll need to get it working with the defaults first. For more information on network
settings, please see Section 2.6.1, “
Network Configuration ”.
Note
ExecFTPs stores its settings in mc0:/BxDATA-SYSTEM/CONFIG.DAT. This is different from the file
mc0:/SYS-CONF/IPCONFIG.DAT where SMS and uLaunchELF/PS2Net store their settings.
2.3.1.3. Starting the FTP Client
Once you've got the FTP server working, and successfully PINGed your PS2, start your FTP client. Lots of people seem to be recommending
FlashFXP (http://www.inicom.net/pages/en.ffxp-download.php
), but I was happier with the free (and non-nagware) GPL FileZilla
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla
). Not all FTP clients will work. For example I couldn't get FTPexplorer to work for some reason.
Load the FTP client on your PC (example is FileZilla), then type in the IP address of your PS2 in the 'Host:' box. Some people have also
recommended that you need to enable Passive (or PASV) mode. I've found that this isn't necessary, but by all means go ahead if you like, the
setting is accessed by clicking the 'Advanced' button on the form below.

When you are ready, click 'Connect', and after a blur of messages at the top of the screen, you should see something like the following page:
