ps5send

Upload a local folder to a jailbroken PS5's internal storage via FTP, with automatic retry and chmod.

Note: This script targets the PS5's internal storage (/data/homebrew/ by default). It is not intended for external USB drives.

Requirements

• lftp (auto-installed on first run if missing — apt/dnf/pacman)
• A jailbroken PS5 with FTP server running (port 2121 by default)

Usage

ps5send [OPTIONS] <local_folder>

Options

Flag	Default	Description
-h, --host <ip>	192.168.1.52	PS5 IP address
-p, --port <port>	2121	FTP port
-d, --dest <path>	/data/homebrew	Destination base path on PS5
-n, --name <name>	basename of source	Destination folder name
-j, --parallel <n>	4	Parallel FTP connections
--no-chmod	—	Skip chmod 777 after upload
--dry-run	—	Show plan, don't transfer

Examples

# Basic — game ID auto-detected from folder name
ps5send "/mnt/games/MyGame PPSA01234"

# Custom host and explicit folder name on PS5
ps5send --host 192.168.1.100 --name PPSA01234 "/mnt/games/MyGame"

# Max out parallel connections
ps5send --parallel 8 /mnt/games/PPSA56789

# Skip chmod (faster if you don't need it)
ps5send --no-chmod /mnt/games/PPSA99999

What it does

1. Checks FTP connectivity before starting
2. Mirrors the local folder to /data/homebrew/<name>/ on the PS5 using lftp mirror
3. Auto-retries on transient failures (up to 10 attempts) — handles mid-transfer drops
4. Verifies remote file count matches local
5. Applies chmod 777 recursively to every file and directory
