    Same shit different software. I’m still using that turd Filezilla because literally no other FTP software I’ve tried has worked with the server run by WiiU homebrew.

          I’ve only ever used it to move files to and from… yeah, hacked consoles.

          If they can make off with my gold before sunset with that information, more power to them.

            The concern isn’t so much them directly taking your money or info, but rather accepting money to enable someone else to.

            Basically, they’ve been bundling ads with their installer for years, but several years back, whatever ad service they used without a care decided to start shipping spyware as well, in addition to the already existent deceptive patterns used in the installer.

            You’d expect any good dev to be pissed if something like this got into their software, right? Well, they were pissed… at the users. The stupid, stupid users and cyber security researchers who dared to say this was a problem. They refused to acknowledge the problem, made excuses, removed discussions about it on their forums and tried to act like it wasn’t a big deal even if there was malware because they also offer a download without the malware, provided as a nice, tiny link on a separate page.

              Oh, I’m not defending them. I have no sense of software loyalty. They aren’t the only ftp game in town by a longshot.

        Yeah, there’s a module for the modern custom firmware that runs an ftp server in the background for file access. Let’s you manage things, add homebrew, install games, etc without constantly swapping the SD card. For whatever reason, though, GNOME commander can’t connect at all and gFTP disconnects immediately when trying to make a transfer.

        Ah, didn’t mention I’m on Linux. Not gonna bother with a paid client just for Wii U homebrew anyway.

        Really kinda sucks that all the FTP clients that seem good are Windows only.
