Vitacompanion is a user module which makes developing homebrews for the PS Vita device easier. It does two things:
- Open a FTP server on port 1337
- Listen to commands on port 1338
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
makeRun VitaShell on your PS Vita, press SELECT to activate the FTP server and copy vitacompanion.suprx to ur0:/tai. Finally, add the following line to ur0:/tai/config.txt:
*main
ur0:tai/vitacompanion.suprx
You can upload stuff to your vita by running:
curl -T somefile.zip ftp://IP_TO_VITA:1337/ux0:/somedir/somefile.zip
Or you can use your regular FTP client. The server accepts both Vita-style
paths such as ux0:/somedir/ and FTP absolute paths such as /ux0:/somedir/.
It also supports EPSV, PASV, LIST, NLST, and MDTM for compatibility with
generic FTP clients.
If you want curl to send the full FTP path directly instead of changing directories first, use the double-slash URL form:
curl --ftp-method nocwd ftp://IP_TO_VITA:1337//ux0:/somedir/
Send a command by opening a TCP connection to the port 1338 of your Vita.
For example, you can reboot your vita by running:
echo reboot | nc IP_TO_PSVITA 1338
Note that you need to append a newline character to the command that you send. echo already adds one, which is why it works here.

Thanks to xerpi for his vita-ftploader plugin, I stole a lot of his code (with his permission). Thanks to cpasjuste for PSP2SHELL, it inspired me to create this tool.
