ps5-payload-ftpsrv is a simple FTP server that can be executed on a Playstation 5 that has been jailbroken via the BD-J or the webkit entry points.

Assuming you have the ps5-payload-sdk installed on a POSIX machine, the FTP server can be compiled using the following two commands:

john@localhost:ps5-payload-ftpsrv$ export PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk
john@localhost:ps5-payload-ftpsrv$ make

To deploy the payload, first launch the ps5-payload-elfldr, then load ftpsrv.elf by issuing the following command:

john@localhost:ps5-payload-ftpsrv$ nc -q0 PS5_HOST 9021 < ftpsrv.elf

You can also compile the FTP server for POSIX-like systems (tested with Ubuntu and FreeBSD):

john@localhost:ps5-payload-ftpsrv$ make -f Makefile.posix
john@localhost:ps5-payload-ftpsrv$ ./ftpsrv.posix.elf

Client software that has been testing include gFTP, Filezilla, curl, and Thunar. Furthermore, the payload supports a couple of custom SITE commands specifically for the PS5 (executed without prepending SITE). In particular:

• KILL - kill the FTP server.
• MTRW - remount /system and /system_ex with write permissions.
