[cy33hc]

Initial Release of Switch SMB Client.
https://github.com/cy33hc/switch-smb-client

Simple SMB client for the Switch. Allows you to transfer files between the Switch and your Windows Shares, Linux SMB Shares and NAS SMB shares.

This is a port of the same app created for the Vita and PS4.

Great idea, thanks. What are the average transfer speeds with this?

I'm on a 100Mbps wired ethernet and getting about 9MB/s

This will work great for my needs. I want to use my NAS drive for storage for misc Switch stuff. Up till now I would have to go turn on my pc and FTD to it for transfers, so this will help greatly, Thanks again!

If you NAS drive has FTP server, then you can try the FTP client app which has a little faster transfer speed (about 10-15% faster). It's just SMB is just a lot easier for a lot of people to share from computer.

It prob does, but I've never set it up or looked into FTD on it, all my other devices link to NAS with samba, so figured be easier to stick with that for Switch too. I'm not too concerned much about the speeds so much, will be small files I mess with, I was just curious about the speed. Thank You!

Thanks!

This is awesome! As someone with a big ol' SMB server on his LAN, this is nice. Now I can (probably) copy my screenshots over to my server without needing my PC!
(even if I can't copy them like how the switch/DBI normally mounts the album over USB, this is still nice as hell to have)

Can this be incorporates into RetroArch so i can load roms directly from SMB instead of having to download them first?
