Red Kawa strikes again: file server ease!
You may or may not recall the piece we did a week or two ago about the video conversion software brought to you by Red Kawa for your PS3. If you remember, thanks! If not, read the link and download the software -- it can only be helpful, right? I wonder if anyone's reading this site via the PS3 browser. That would be cool. Anyway. Some people have been expressing trouble in moving stuff from their PC to their PS3. Moving cards back and forth, transferring data at a pretty tedious pace... worry not of these things! Red Kawa has upped more free software, this time it's a File Server program. What's it do? It lets your PS3 talk to your PC, basically. You can view and copy files from your PC onto your PS3 -- via the PS3. Can any other console do that? Not yet. This is really cool and if I had a PS3 I would definitely rock out with this piece of software in conjunction with the video converter. Go download it, gentlemen and ladies and let us know how it truly operates!

It looks like you can't currently copy files with spaces in the filename

"Can any other console do that? Not yet."
are you being facetious?
what about the 360? does the mac mini count? no, then what about the PSP?

Sweet!!! Now I don't need to install linux in order to FTP stuff directly to my PS3! :)

@ ozymandias
what about the 360, psp, or mac mini? is that just a list you made up?

Copying files to a console from a PC is a bit weird. Why not just stream the files to your console...which the 360 does just fine. And there is a new transcoding utility that allows for DIVX and Xvid to be streamed to the 360: http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/
