Savegame Backup using WiFi mode - Writing not possible with enabled LRW access

[NoWis9]

Hey

I am trying to back up a savegame using WiFi mode.
After connecting to my FTP server (using smallftp 1.0.3) and choosing to save to a new file, I get the Notification FTP is slow, please wait... and shortly afterwards WARNING: Could not write to your FTP server! Maybe you forgot to enable write access?.

My ftp user does have LRW access to the root ftp directory.
I am able to create new files on the ftp server using a python lib with the same ftp user (but the smallftp server seems to have some unexpected behaviour sometimes).

Do you have an idea why the file transfer is not working?

---

A separate issue (I think) is that the files in the ftp directory are not shown on the DS screen (when choosing which file to overwrite).
However, the savegame-manager is able to at least avoid same-name collisions, so some file name reading is probably going on.

---

The errors seem independent from the games I am using.

The smallftp exe that I'm using has version 1.0.3 and CRC-32 checksum 5ee11d4f.
I am currently using your savegame-manager version 0.3.0.RC1.
I would prefer not having to set up a build environment for further debugging but if there is no other way I can do that as well.

Thanks :)

To be clear, this isn't my savegame-manager, I just happened to end up with the most popular Github export of it when Google Code was shutting down.

These days I'd really recommend just using GodMode9 on a hacked 3DS instead, that should be able to do everything this does and more.

However, if you're really intent on using this, I suppose I can take a look if this still works as intended when I have some free time. Might take a bit though.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Oh, that's my bad
I thought you actually were the person to do the small improvements to the savegame-manager.

Sadly I do not have a 3DS, which is why I would prefer to use the savegame-manager.
I'm also thinking about buying hardware (either an actual backup adapter or an Action Replay with MicroSD card) for backing up (and restoring) saves. But neither was easily available to buy for me the last time I looked.

I would appreciate you taking a look if it still works as intended when you have the time. I will still see if I can find a solution myself and update you if I'm successful.

I have not been able to get the savegame-manager working in my setup.
However, since I do have access to a 3DS now, I don't need to get it working anymore.
Thanks for your help :)

I got this error when trying to write a new save file using L+R combo with the cursor pointing on a file. I then tried with the cursor pointing to a directory, and then it worked. Weird UI/UX, but not a showstopper.

EDIT: It seems I was mistaken. I can reliably backup Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon SoulSilver (SEE EDIT 2). The one game that is giving me trouble is Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, presumably because of the forward slash in the file name.

EDIT 2: For some reason the SoulSilver save dump is bad. The .sav file is too small. Got a good dump by rolling back to v2.4 instead.
