Red Kawa PS3/PSP network file server (beats card-swapping...)

Let's see, what shall my PS3 suck from my PC today?


One thing Red Kawa found out when working on their PS3 video format converter and player was that swapping out all those Memory Sticks, memory cards, USB HDDs, and so forth, was a tedious and annoying workout. So no one could blame them if they wanted to create something to parallel their video converter: a file server program that could make a PC and a PS3 talk over a wired or wireless net.

Now, after installing this program, the Red Kawa File Server (and for free, too!) onto their PCs, the PS3 can view, access, and copy files stored in the PC HDD using the PS3's web browser. The way we see it, it can be particularly useful if you're the type to hot-swap files between your PS3 and the PC.

We're looking at video format conversion and upload, and homebrew development mainly. It would be interesting to note if this can work the other way, too: copying files from the PS3 HDD to the PC HDD. Nothing said about that.

Second bonus: apparently the PSP can also directly access the PC-server. Not many details are offered in the Red Kawa site, but it's safe to assume that you could use the PSP's web browser to access the PC, just as with the PS3.

Red Kawa's working on a tutorial guide at the moment, so there are no detailed instructions to go with on this one (either for the PSP or PS3). Other than the fact that you install this on the PC, anyway. Just remember to open up port #8192 on your router. As details surface later, we'll post updates (and additional downloads, if necessary). These Red Kawa boys do know how to work fast when they twig on something, after all...

I was just about to order a USB adapter for all my old hard drives to transfer stuff to my PS3, but this will save me a couple bucks for now:) Thanks Red Kawa! It's like you read my mind!

...Yeah I installed it on my PC and I tranfered all my music to my PS3...it's pretty sweet. I wish you could just save a director instead of having to save each file. Still it's still pretty good!

Doesn't mind my mind!

 » been there, done that
I already had a server set up on my computer and have been using it. I tried this and it is good as well (although not secure).

MP4 files from my PC to PS3 still require external storage (cannot be saved on the ps3's hdd), but MPG's and MP3's transferred fine to the built-in hdd.

Hope they have a OS X version soon. I have no Micro$oft in my home. And damn it feels good.
