PS5 FFPFSC Renamer v0.5.0b — PS5 FTP Compatibility Preview

v0.5.0b hardens the PS5 FTP workspace introduced in v0.5.0a after checking the current etaHEN FTP and ShadowMountPlus implementations at source level. This remains an alpha / prerelease intended for testing and feedback; v0.5.0 remains the current stable release.

FTP compatibility verified against current implementations

  • etaHEN's integrated FTP implementation uses port 1337 by default and supports the operations required by the workspace: passive FTP, MLSD, NLST, SIZE, REST, RETR, RNFR and RNTO.
  • The preferred Explorer path therefore continues to use MLSD on the integrated etaHEN server.
  • Added a Unix LIST parser fallback for standalone PS5 ftpsrv variants that do not expose MLSD/NLST, allowing the remote Explorer to remain usable with both server families.
  • Recursive remote discovery is now bounded by both result count and directory count so an unexpectedly broad PS5 root cannot turn into an unbounded traversal.
  • Small ShadowMount configuration/status files are size-checked before retrieval when FTP SIZE is available.

ShadowMountPlus rename safety

  • Current ShadowMountPlus source recognizes .ffpfsc as an image type by extension, so changing only the descriptive base filename does not remove .ffpfsc recognition.
  • Remote rename now checks all known filename/path-sensitive ShadowMount files: /data/shadowmount/config.ini, /data/shadowmount/autotune.ini, /data/shadowmount/manual.lst and /data/shadowmount/manual.status.
  • The utility reproduces ShadowMountPlus' current PFSC mount-point rule (filename stem + FNV-1a(full source path) under /mnt/shadowmnt/pfsc).
  • If the exact mount point for the selected .ffpfsc currently exists, the rename is refused. The image must be unmounted/stopped before retrying.
  • Existing destination-collision preflight, extension preservation and post-rename source/destination verification remain active.
  • .ffpfsc payload contents are never rewritten or recompressed by FTP rename operations.

PS5 FTP workspace

  • Separate Local Library and PS5 FTP workspaces keep remote operations visually distinct from local filesystem operations.
  • Manual PS5 host/IP, configurable FTP port, username and password are supported; credentials remain session-only.
  • Discover PS5 performs bounded scanning on private local LAN/Wi-Fi ranges for the selected FTP port.
  • The themed PS5 Explorer supports remote path navigation, Up/Refresh controls, folder browsing and recursive .ffpfsc enumeration.
  • Manual remote .ffpfsc rename includes confirmation, collision preflight and post-rename verification.

Desktop fixes carried forward

  • Fixed the Windows result-row selection path that could surface the automatic Feedback & Bug Report dialog when clicking or right-clicking a library row.
  • Increased the default result-list height.
  • Configuration panels auto-collapse after inactivity to return vertical space to the library list.
  • Scan now F5 remains available beside the progress controls even while configuration is collapsed.
  • Existing local Undo / Ctrl+Z, collision protection, PARTIAL blocking, pre-flight validation and transaction rollback remain unchanged.

Current preview scope

Connection, discovery, browsing, .ffpfsc enumeration and conservative remote rename are implemented. Automatic Title ID / title / version extraction directly from a remote multi-gigabyte .ffpfsc is still intentionally not performed by downloading the complete image. The next engineering stage is bounded random-access metadata reading over FTP using etaHEN's REST/RETR support, isolated from the Explorer control connection.

The FTP path has been validated against source implementations and automated tests, but a real-console test is still required because network conditions, payload versions and console storage layouts can vary. Test first with a non-critical or independently backed-up image.
