How to Browse My PS3 System Files Through My Laptop

The Sony PlayStation (PS3) is a home video game console that can connect to the Internet. Much like a computer, the PS3 can use a file explorer function to add and delete files from its internal hard drive. This can be accomplished with a laptop and an Internet connection via an FTP client. The FTP server is installed onto the PS3, and is accessible using an FTP client.
