1. Download PS3-FTP-Server.pkg (Google it) and install onto your PS3
2. Download and install FileZilla FTP (or your favorite FTP program) onto your PC.
3. Follow the READ ME instruction file for PS3-FTP-Server for configuring the IP, port, and login credential.
(Note: For FileZilla, I did not need to change any settings, I just entered IP, port, username, any password, and hit simply hit connect.)
4. Once connected, you will see the directory structures of the PS3. Simply go to: /dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ IF YOR FILEMANAGER IS GIA AND IF ITS NOT THEN COPY TO :/dev_hdd0/game/GAMES/
(Note: "/dev_hdd0 is the hard drive", "LAUN12345" is the Backup Manager program, and "GAMEZ" is where your downloaded games go into, yeah with a "Z" not "S".)
(Note: Games that you download from the Internet may not have the correct Title ID. You can use PS3SFOEdit to open the PARAM.SFO found in the folder of your downloaded PS3 games. This will reveal the Title ID of the game.
Or do a Google Search for the game's SAVE DATA and the SAVE DATA folder name is usually the Title ID of the game, too.)
5. Use the left side of the FileZilla program to drag and drop your downloaded PS3 game to the right side, into the /dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ directory.
6. Wait until the transfer is done. May take hours but will be worth it.
7. You may need to change the Permission of the folder belonging to the PS3 game that you just transferred over. To do so, right-click on the the folder that you just uploaded, choose "File Permissions" and change the "numeric value" to either 700 or 707. I think you ONLY need to do it for the main folder.
(Note: You can also use the steps above to transfer games from your PS3 hard drive to your PC)
