I have experienced network issues not only with FTP, also with the HTTP server.
If I reboot everything seems ok again... it seems to be an intermittent issue, because it does not happen all the time.
I noticed this issue more frequently on 4.84.1. Not sure if it is an issue of CFW or if it related to webMAN....

EDIT:
My hypothesis: as 4.84.1 now starts faster due it not longer calls stage1, webMAN could be trying to use network before the network is fully initialized. With stage1 there was a small delay that could be cause the difference.

You could verify if you have the same issue with 4.82.1. If not, maybe I'll need to add some delay before start the plugin, go give time to the network to be prepared.

EDIT2:
if you add this line "wait /dev_kozy" to /dev_hdd0/boot_init.txt the system will wait about 15 seconds (because that file does not exist and it will timeout in that time) before it continue to start the network servers (http, ftp, netsrv, etc.). It could be used to test my hypothesis

That is a good theory as to why it's not working on COBRA 8.01, however I'm experiencing the ftp server not working on 4.84 PASTA CFW, with MAMBA 3.1.4. Any ideas?

If IRISMAN is running with FTP server enabled and using port 21 when it starts up, if webman is configured to be loaded, it will not be able to start the FTP server because IRISMAN is already using the port 21. When you exit from IRISMAN, the FTP server of webMAN will remain disabled because it couldn't start when the plugin was loaded.

To avoid this issue, disable the FTP server in IRISMAN or change the port to 22 or 2121 pressing SQUARE button over "Initialize FTP server" (if FTP is running, you will need to stop it first).

That is a feature of Cobra. webMAN only calls the Cobra functions to mount the games.

Here is a quote from Joonie about the issue:

COBRA patches this on the fly depending on the region of the PSX Title but VSH won't automatically switch the supported resolution, so it has to be done manually. This works 80% of the time so this may take more than once to fix it.

To remove the black bars use PS/PS2 upscaler in Game Settings of XMB.

I wasn't using IRISMAN, as it doesn't work on the firmware I'm using (black screen when launched. I believe Joonie has already mentioned this). I restarted my PS3, & the ftp server on webMAN seems to be working fine now. I'll let you know if the issue occurs again, & I'll provide as many details as possible.

@kozarovv I compiled this test build with a delay of 2 on start up, so you can test the FTP issue.

Download: https://www.sendspace.com/file/ens8cy

In this test build I added some new commands to boot_init.txt:
- if/elseif/else/end commands for conditional execution
- popup to show a popup
- beep/beep1/beep2/beep3 to sound the buzzer
- lwait <path> waits 10 seconds for <path> / wait command now to waits only 5 seconds (not 15)
- swap <file>=<file> exchange files

Also the leading spaces in the lines of boot_init.txt are now ignored and fixed an issue with boot_init.txt saved using PC format (CRLF).

Note: Nested blocks of "if" commands are not supported.

Sorry guys, but need some help here.

Is Webman still able to run games directly off a NTFS external HDD? I can see the content (games) stored in the HDD via setup (files) menu (games stored in PS3ISO), but the games doesn't show up on XML menu (only those I transfer to internal HDD shown up).

Irisman could detect the games but couldn't load without transferring to internal HDD.

Did I missed something or did something wrong?

Thank you.

The full edition should be able to navigate the files or list directly the games in NTFS.
If for any reason webMAN don't see the content of your NTFS drive, you always can use prepNTFS to scan the content.

I am using full version webman (hold L1) during installation and I had run prepNTFS 1.12 but still the games doesn't show on XML menu. So I am not sure what had I missed out during the setup process.

@aldostools the issue with DECR was caused by improper signing on wm_proxy.sprx.

idle_plugin.sprx from DECR
https://pastebin.com/tkT1r72C

wm_proxy.sprx from wMM 1.47.00
https://pastebin.com/qGLYLW6c

The issue was resolved after resigning wm_proxy.. I think it's more of control flag thing not covering reference tool.

also, there's one more issue left.. PS3MAPI page crashes on DECR...

So this is what I could see. Just couldn't get the games to be listed on the XML menu (from the NTFS External HDD attached). Tried few HDD and SSD from WD, Seagate, SD, etc.

I see you're using REBUG edition. can you try installing the full version?

Sorry, full version as in CFW or webman mod?

webMAN MOD Full version. you need to press L1 to do it when launching the installer.

[Hold R1 for VSH Menu, L1 for Full Edition, X for Lite Edition]

I suppose I am already on the full version (unless I make a big mistake)?

Not sure,

^ if you see [Rebug-PS3MAPI] then you're using REBUG edition.

Sorry my bad. Was installing and reinstalling to see if I could get it to work. Guess that picture was taken when I was trying out lite version.

Seems like I might have missed something very important so it couldn't work for me....

Looks like now you're using Full version. so now go to Games, then refresh both "XML" and "HTML" it will take a bit. then reboot your PS3 after it's completed.

Tried, but still wouldn't appear in the game list. Maybe I will try to reinstall the CFW to see if it helps. Couldn't figure out what did I missed or did wrongly.

By the way, it takes about 1-2 mins to fully scan your contents. So you have to wait until all the sub menus show up after it finishes scanning.

Also, the size limit on external HDD is up to 2TB. and it must be MBR not GPT

I waited till the XML reset asked me to reboot the system and used the link to reboot system.

Yup, I am on a 2tb seagate ntfs drive (MBR). Webman could see the drive must just wouldn't list the games inside.

Thank you for your help.
