It is possible to transfer files at super-fast speeds by setting up a mini network between two devices using an Ethernet cable.
You want to transfer large games downloaded to your PC to your PS3, but you don't want to do this over your local network because the transfer speed is slow. Instead, you want a faster transfer, so follow the instructions below:
- Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your PS3 device.
- Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the PC.
- In both cases, the network will be configured manually and specifically.
Open the PS3 and do these instructions;
Next: Leave that part as default, so press the D-Pad right button and next.
Go to Network Settings -> Internet Connection Settings -> Custom -> Wired Connection -> Manual Settings -> Next
-> Manual;
IP Address -> 1.1.1.2
Subnet Mask -> 255.255.255.0
Default Router -> 1.0.0.0
Primary DNS -> 1.1.1.1
Secondary DNS -> 1.1.1.1
From this point on, click Next until you see the summary list of the network configuration.
Once the installation is complete, open m*ltiMan for the FTP process.
Depending on whether you are using Windows or Linux, there should be a network configuration section similar to the settings on a PS3. Find this section and simply enter the IP and subnet information. The other sections (DNS and Gateway/Router) can be left blank;
IP -> 1.1.1.1
Subnet Mask -> 255.255.255.0
- Since the file transfer will be done via FileZilla, open this program on your PC.
You can start file transfers by entering the PS3's IP address in the relevant section of the program.
If you want to configure settings related to simultaneous transfer in FileZilla, Edit -> Settings -> Transfers
