PS3 Wireless File Sharing.. Help Please
Sponsored Links
Now I was reading in my router guide that I can share files between my desktop and another computer (Im assuming this can be a PS3). Im wanting to know if I can shoot files to my PS3 via my wireless connection, and lets say, watch movies on my TV that are currently on my Desktop's hard-drive.. Is this possible? And does it go the same for music and picture files? If so, ho do I go about accessing these files from the PS3? I have put a list of folders on my "shared folders" list on my router configuration. Any help would be great.. Thanks |

I'm not too sure if you can wirelessly send files your PS3. But there are quick ways of getting files from your comp. to your PS3. First, if you have the 60gig version, you can use a memory card and transfer files that way. Or, I think you can burn a disc and just copy all the info too. PSP transfers also work via USB.
While the PS3 has been touted as a "computer" you have to install a distro of Linux to actually have it be a compter. Maybe with linux you can wirelessly share but I know that more physical medium are a lot faster. |

JJJ, you can't easily share files over the network between 2 different operating systems. So in other words, you computer is running on Windows and the PS3 is a running on a proprietary Sony OS (XMB), and they cannot talk to each other. However, you may share files between the PS3 and your computer over the network by installing a true computer operating system on it. You have the option to install many flavors of Linux on the PS3, and with third party software support, you will be able to communicate between the PS3 (via Linux) and your PC.
Another approach you can try is to enable IIS (assuming you have at least Windows 2000 professional) on your PC and start a FTP or HTTP server on it, then you must configure a shared network folder on your PC. Since both the PS3 and the PC support TCP/IP protocol, once you have set up a web server on your PC, then you can use your PS3's browser and navigate to that local web server on your PC and download files off of it, but if you don't know what you are doing, you should probably stay away from both of these methods and stick with the USB flash drives.

![]() I have one other question then.. I have a 300GB External HD, that might be able to connect to the ps3 via a USB port. SO if I have movies on the portable HD, plug it into the ps3, will I be able to open the files on the HD with my ps3? Including movie files? Im trying to avoid having to burn movies, and rather just have them on my HD and move it to my ps3. |

You can check your hard drive, just plug it via USB, go to your PS3 video icon, select your drive and press the triangle button to view all of your folders. As for the actual movies, it depends on the format. Most mpegs should work, but seeing as how most movies are avi, wmv, or use some other codec, the PS3 cannot play those. It's best that you use a portable drive rather than burning a DVD and finding out that you wasted your time (and maybe even a disc) on something that the PS3 doesn't support.

JJJ, first thing you want to make sure is that your HDD is formatted as a FAT32 disk, PS3 will not recognize NTFS disks... Second, like Charlie said, make sure you have the correct format for your movie files. Another thing you may want to be aware of is that FAT32 disks have a 4 GB file limit, in other words, you cannot store a single file larger than 4 GB on the disk, so watch out for the size when you rip that DVD.

WiFi on the PS3 is pretty simple to setup... The process is somewhat similar to the Wii.

yes you can access files such as videos and music straight from your pc's hd on your ps3 using windows media player 11 all you need to do is open up windows media player 11 click the little down arrow just under library and a drop box will come down and click "Media Sharing" once you click it there will be a window asking share media on you network make sure that box is check "click okay" then another box will appear and at the bottom it will ask allow deny customize and just above that will be white in the middle with a few unknown devices depending on how many systems on online and on your network but if its just your ps3 on your network then thats what it will be just click allow and there you go you pc and ps3 are now connected but inorder to do this the ps3 cannot be in game all it has to do is sit the online doing nothing once you click allow you should see a new icon on your ps3 under videos music and pic folders and there you go watch listen and view but it will only show what it in the " My Music " folder or windows media player 11's library if this was a horrible explanation of how to do this just email me at blackhandofdeth@gmail.com

Sharing media files from a PC to the PS3 is easy, just install ps3mediaserver and tell it which folders to share. It will stream videos, music and pictures to your PS3 and if the files are in a format the PS3 cannot handle it will transcode them on the fly so the PS3 can play them, unlike windows media player.

probably but using windows is much easier than installing some more bullshit on the ps3 |

Yes using the built-in windows media player is an option, but it wont let you view videos on the PS3 that it cant play. PS3mediaserver runs in the background on the PC you just tell it where to find the files to serve to the PS3. It takes 2 seconds to install and setup, then needs no more messing. Just put the files into the folder you told PS3mediaserver to watch and it appears on your PS3. It takes less resources to run than windows media player, and can be used for Hi-def content, unlike windows media player. You can even use it to watch Internet tv or listen to internet radio stations on your PS3. |

your router settings has nothing to do with you sharing from pc to ps3 wireless or wired. as long as your accessing the internet on your ps3 or pc your router is asigning an ip address to your ps3 and pc. so all that is good its just the pc end.
ok look if your running windows xp just download a program called microsoft media connect. install it and tell it which folders you want to sync and you have to tell it to let your ps3 connect to it. make sure your ps3 is on and all you network settings is right. start it and keep it running. your folders from your pc should show up. if your running windows 7 add the folders to your public libraries either in media player options or your network conifg option. make sure you set permissions if you have to allow access and stream media options enabled. and by the way i have done it and still doing it. and there even and article onling that explains how to do it. just do a search in google. |
