....will allow you to use the WiFi abilities of the DS to transfer files to your supercard without having to pull the flashcard from the Supercard?

Now THAT would be awesome!

OH!  Freakin' SWEET!

Thanks!

So with DSFTP you can dowload files and put them directly on your microsd card?

Tried it, works. Average transfer rate was about 35kb/s which is very slow.

You are better off just sticking ur card into a reader.

It's useful for transferring small homebrew games over at least.  For instance, if I want to add the new version of DSFTP to my card, I'll use it.  It actually saves time since I don't have to:
1.  take miniSD card out of SC
2.  put miniSD card in miniSD-to-SD adapter
3.  put unit in computer's SD reader
4.  navigate to the directory and copy game over
5.  right-click Eject, take out of computer, take miniSD card out of adapter, put miniSD card into SC, start DS

Instead, I can just
1.  Load DSFTP and computer's FTP client
2.  copy game over to appropriate folder
3.  Shutdown DS with A+B+X+Y and turn back on.

Like you said though, speed is fairly slow, so anything large (like an mp3 for instance) might take a while, at which point it would be faster to use the card reader.

There's also a wifiloader that works on Supercards that loads a game directly into the DS's RAM from a PC application and runs it.  I've had very low success though, as only a couple of homebrew applications worked.
