Add instructions for FTP users, or an FTP mode

I unfortunately didn't have an SD card reader to plug my SD card into my computer, so I had to resort to FTP. It is indeed possible to do it via FTP by following these steps:

  • Copy the script to the gm9/scripts folder (like normal) and run it
  • When done, create a new folder on the computer and download the threeSD folder to it
  • Recreate the folder structure up to the ID1 folder, so create a Nintendo 3DS folder, then a folder with the ID0, and inside that a folder with the ID1
  • Run the exe and point it to the folder that was created folder

Alternatively the program could connect to the 3DS via FTP and do everything automatically, but that's probably not worth the work since it's pretty easy to do it manually

An even easier solution is to just use the inbuilt microSD Management though? It's in Settings/Data Management. It's easier because you can direct threeSD to network folders, not FTP ones though. Also, FTP is on the "maybe todo"-list iirc.

microSD Management is New 3DS only, it uses SMB 1.0 which needs manual enabling on Windows because it's old and a security risk, and OSes different than Windows need some work to get SMB to work

I see, pardon my ignorance then. FTP is still on the todo-list though.
