How to FTP to PS3 Using Gaia

Gaia is a hacker-community file manager application designed for use on your jailbroken (operating system-modified) Sony PlayStation3 (PS3) gaming system. The Gaia Manager system allows you to copy games, upload various customized games and applications, as well as transfer files from your computer to your PS3 via FTP connection.
