How to manually transfer files to PS3 HDD?

[CJPC]

Here is the code and the error:

At a quick glance (can't give it a test atm) - try using a full titleid, as in NPEA00001 or something for your folder name.

Also, you could probably also use cellHddGameCheck() to make the directory if mkdir is giving issues - Sony even provided a nice sample for it in the SDK (sysutil/hddgame)!

Nice, I will check it out!
I sent you an email and message, did you get them?

Ok, I test everything and I cannot get to create a folder in /dev_hdd0/game, not even with the samples in sysutil/hddgame

Thanks anyway.

You need to use the game data utility API to create these directories, take a look at the sample that demonstrates cellGameDataCheckCreate2(). Actually, the API for that function is a real dog as you need to have 2 threads and the graphics system initialised, so you probably want to look for cellGameCreateGameData() instead although I think this is SDK 2.50 and above only.

If you don't have the SDK docs, the simplest method is to create a package file containing just a single file and install this via the XMB. This will create the directory for you.

I got it running, I created a folder, now I have to figure out how to delete the folder via code.

Thanks
