Basic FTP Info
Everything runs on FTP (yes, we’re keeping it retro). Every method mentioned uses FTP, so you’re not limited to our suggestions. If it supports FTP, it’ll work. Below are just some curated ideas and tutorials to get you started.
FTP Servers
We currently host two servers, each with space for just under 22TB (each) of delightful content:
Sputnik (TV Shows, VR Videos, and JFC Conversions)
WARNING:
This is an FTP IP, NOT a website!
- IP: ftp://Sputnik.whatbox.ca
- Port: 13017
- TLS: Optional (but recommended, because security is cool)

Streaming on VR Headsets
Let’s be honest: VR headsets are the holy grail of 3D movie experiences. Dual-eye rendering beats theaters, projectors, and even those ancient 3D TVs. Here’s how to make it work:
Local File Play
This method is your last resort, but it's handy if your internet connection is slower than a snail in quicksand or non-existent. Download files to your PC (using FileZilla or similar) and transfer them to your headset. Or, if you’re a rebel, install an FTP client directly on your headset. Just remember that headset storage is limited, so don’t go overboard.
Streaming
The most popular option. Why? Because no one wants to clutter up their headset with giant files. Streaming methods include:
FTP (The Easy Button)
- Use an app like 4XVR (available for Quest, Pico, and Vision Pro).
- Setup is straightforward: Go to the network tab, hit the "+" button, and choose FTP or SFTP (depending on whether you want encryption).
- Enter the FTP details above. Don't forget to use the exact username and password we gave you (case-sensitive!).
- Click OK, log in, and start streaming. No downloads, no fuss.
SMB (The Shared Folder Approach)
- Download or mount the collection on your PC.
- Right-click the folder and select “Share this folder.”
- SMB adds a layer of password protection, perfect for keeping nosy roommates out of your, er, private collection.
DLNA (The Plex-y Option)
- Many apps support DLNA servers (like Plex or Windows Media Player). Rclone can also turn your collection into a DLNA server. This method is user-friendly and works on most devices with minimal setup.
Windows Options
Windows Download Links
- Option 1: FileZilla.3DFF.7z (Password:

- Run the InstallServices.bat file and follow the prompts to mount or create a DLNA server.
- If you choose to mount the folder, avoid spaces in the mount point (folder name) — this is non-negotiable.
