Network & PC Integration
Network features are demand-loaded where practical so normal file-manager startup does not pay for an unused network stack.
FTP
The R3Z work includes an FTP workflow compatible with its modernized network stack. Start network services intentionally from Tools/settings rather than keeping them resident for every boot.
MrRexD-compatible remote commands
The project follows the existing R3Z PC-side command ecosystem instead of inventing an unnecessary second desktop protocol. Supported remote commands can request launch/transfer actions using the compatible client.
PC game receiver / UDPFS
PC game receiver and UDPFS functionality provide network-backed workflows. UDPFS is also an accepted Neutrino ISO backend when the filesystem/server and IP configuration are valid.
IP configuration
Network settings use the classic IP, netmask and gateway configuration model. The dashboard tracks unsaved network state separately and can write an updated IPCONFIG-style snapshot.
Failure isolation
- Confirm physical link and adapter initialization.
- Confirm IP/netmask/gateway.
- Confirm service/filesystem discovery.
- Only then debug FTP, UDPFS, cloud or another upper-layer feature.
Native cloud sockets have bounded connect/handshake/read/write waits. DNS resolution in PS2IP remains synchronous and is a separate hardware edge case.
