FTP is a protocol for copying files over the network.

As others have pointed out, it could be used for piracy. But it might just as well be used simply because there's no convenient way to transfer legitimate files (like pictures and music) to the PS3 from a PC; one has to resort to moving around a USB memory stick or a USB harddrive.

Though running random binaries from the Internet is a very bad idea, so don't go doing anything like that yourself.

Heard about Media servers? I personally use PS3 Media Server, Over a Gigabit Ethernet it takes seconds for small files and minutes for copying movies, I find it very convenient.

FTP Server 1.0b

    Well since no one has released a bug free, speedy, easy to
    use FTP server we decided to take the reigns on it.
    Introducing FTP Server 1.0b, it doesn’t crash, it doesn’t
    byte shift, and most importantly, it doesn’t suck.
    Oh, and its threaded for speedy transfers 

    Instructions:

    Install the pkg to your ps3 (you should know how to do
    this by now) then run blackb0x FTP. You can now connect
    to your PS3 via the PC FTP client of your choice. Just
    fill in your PS3′s ip, port 21, and leave username, and
    password blank. To quit the app either press X, or quit
    via ingame XMB.

    Tested with FileZilla, FlashFXp, CuteFTP, and WinSCP

    Expect more tools from us in the future for the PS3

    Releases:

    9/23/10 – FTP Server 1.0b
    9/12/10 – LV2Dump 0.7a

    -blackb0x

Yeah, I'm not stupid. I already did that, but all I got was links to loads of forums advertising 'The latest version'. 

[General_Unknown]

Also, I still don't get what the point or purpose of doing this on a PS3 is?

No, the picture is just from some random website I found. I have absolutely NO idea what my mate is doing with it 

[McNeilio]

why dont u send him a message and ask him

[Angelus3K]

FTP client on the PS3 has many uses, some to do with games and some not.

Basically you don't have to worry about it, it's something they're doing on their jailbroken PS3 and if they're stupid enough to do it online then Sony will deal with them.

I think this thread should be carefull not to run foul of the forum rules. MusterBuster has already warned about discussing illegal things, and this thread seems to be discussing a specific tool in some detail.
Just a friendly warning guys!
