ezRemote Client is an application that allows you to connect the PS4 to remote FTP/SFTP, SMB(Windows Share), NFS, WebDAV, HTTP servers and Google Drive to transfer files. The interface is inspired by Filezilla client which provides a commander like GUI.

New: As of version 1.19

• Install PKG inside Zip files from both local hdd and remote servers.
• Extact zip files directly from remote servers.

New: As of version 1.0.8, ezRemote Client has a Web Interface that can be access from any modern browser to manage the PS4 files.

New: As of version 1.0.9. Remote Package Installation does not require you to host an external Http Server. The embedded Web Server built into ezRemote Client acts as a Proxy Server between the PS4 and remote server (FTP, SFTP, SMB, NFS, WebDav, HttpServer(IIS/Nginx/Apache/Serve) and GoogleDrive). There's no data written to the PS4 hard drive in the process, rather everything is streamed via embedded Web Server directly to the PS4 installer.

To distinguish between FTP, SMB, NFS, WebDAV or HTTP, the URL must be prefix with ftp://, sftp://, smb://, nfs://, webdav://, webdavs://, http:// and https://

• The url format for FTP is

  ftp://hostname[:port]
  sftp://hostname[:port]
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 21(ftp) and 22(sftp) if not provided
  

  For Secure FTP (sftp), use of identity files is possible. Put both the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub into a folder in the PS4 hard drive. Then in the password field in the UI, instead of putting a password reference the folder where id_rsa and id_rsa.pub is place. Prefix the folder with "file://" and do not password protect the identity file.

  Example: If you had placed the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files into the folder /data/ezremote-client,
  then in the password field enter file:///data/ezremote-client
  

• The url format for SMB(Windows Share) is

  smb://hostname[:port]/sharename
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 445 if not provided
    - sharename is required
  

• The url format for NFS is

  nfs://hostname[:port]/export_path[?uid=<UID>&gid=<GID>]
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 2049 if not provided
    - export_path is required
    - uid is the UID value to use when talking to the server. Defaults to 65534 if not specified.
    - gid is the GID value to use when talking to the server. Defaults to 65534 if not specified.
  
    Special characters in 'path' are escaped using %-hex-hex syntax.
  
    For example '?' must be escaped if it occurs in a path as '?' is also used to
    separate the path from the optional list of url arguments.
  
    Example:
    nfs://192.168.0.1/my?path?uid=1000&gid=1000
    must be escaped as
    nfs://192.168.0.1/my%3Fpath?uid=1000&gid=1000
  

• The url format for WebDAV is

  webdav://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
  webdavs://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
  
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 80(webdav) and 443(webdavs) if not provided
    - url_path is optional based on your WebDAV hosting requiremets
  

• The url format for HTTP Server is

  http://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
  https://hostname[:port]/[url_path]
    - hostname can be the textual hostname or an IP address. hostname is required
    - port is optional and defaults to 80(http) and 443(https) if not provided
    - url_path is optional based on your HTTP Server hosting requiremets
  

• For Google Drive use the following URL for the server https://drive.google.com
  Go to the following wiki for instructions on how to setup the app to connect to Google Drive

Tested with following WebDAV server:

• (Recommeded) Dufs - For hosting your own WebDAV server. (Recommended since this allow anonymous access which is required for Remote Package Install)
• SFTPgo - For local hosted WebDAV server. Can also be used as a webdav frontend for Cloud Storage like AWS S3, Azure Blob or Google Storage.
• box.com (Note: delete folder does not work. This is an issue with box.com and not the app)
• mega.nz (via the megacmd tool)
• 4shared.com
• drivehq.com

Remote Package Installation with all Remote Server, even if they are password protected.

• Transfer files back and forth between PS4 and FTP/SMB/NFS/WebDAV server
• Support for connecting to Http Servers like (Apache/Nginx,Microsoft IIS, Serve) with html directory listings to download or install pkg.
• Install Remote Packages from connected WebDAV server
• Ability to connect to your "Google Drive" to transfer files back and fort. Can also install packages from it. The app will download the file to the PS4's harddrive and then install it. You need to keep the app opened. Here is a link to the wiki for what you need to do to make it work. Also able to access files that are shared to you. As of v1.06, Google Shared Drives from Google workspace is supported.
• Install Remote Packages for FTP/SMB if HTTP server setup on same host sharing same folder as FTP/SMB
  • If Remote Package Install is not possible, optionally the user can choose to download package to PS4 local drive and install
• Install packages from PS4 local drive /data folder or usb drive /mnt/usbX
• Install package from Direct Links. Direct links are links that can be reached without being redirected to a webpage where it requires capthas or timers. Example of direct links are github release artifacts. Google shared links is the only exception since I could indirectly parse the webpage to obtain the direct links
• Create Zip files on PS4 local drive or usb drive
• Extract from zip, 7zip and rar files
• File management function include cut/copy/paste/rename/delete/new folder/file for files on PS4 local drive or usb or WebDAV Server.
• Simple Text Editor to make simply changes to config text files. Limited to edit files over 32kb and limited to edit lines up to 1023 characters. If you try edit lines longer then 1023 characters, it will be truncated. For common text files with the following extensions (txt, log, ini, json, xml, html, conf, config) selecting them in the file browser with the X button will automatically open the Text Editor.
• Ability to view jpg, png, bmp and webp image files. (Selecting files with X button will automatically view the file)
• Ability to preview pkg files. In the file browser, select a pkg file with the X button, a preview of the package will now display the icon and SFO attributes. If pkg is in the /data or /mnt/usbX folder, user has the option to install the package from the preview dialog.

• Copy/Move/Delete/Rename/Create files/folders
• Extract 7zip, rar and zip files directly on the PS4
• Compress files into zip directly on the PS4
• Edit text files directly on the PS4
• View all common image formats
• Upload files to the PS4
• Download files from the PS4
• Install packages on the PS4
• Install packages from shared links from mediafire, google and pixeldrain. For other filehost, they can installed via AllDebrid/RealDebrid (See respective websites for supported filehost).

You need to launch the "ezRemote Client" app on the PS4. Then on any device(laptop, tablet, phone etc..) with web browser goto to http://<ip_address_of_ps4>:8080 . That's all.

The port# can be changed from the "Global Settings" dialog in the PS4 app. Any changes to the web server settings needs a restart of the application to take effect.

Copy the ezremote_client.pkg in to a FAT32 format usb drive then install from package installer
