Move files from Computer to microsd via Reader?

[userreddit]

I'm kind of fed up with how long it's taking to transfer small files over WIFI. Plus, I can't get WIFI to work consistently. Is there a way to transfer my ROMs directly by plugging my microsd into the card reader on my computer? I tried before, but the file system looked completely different than it did on WinSCP. I'm using Windows 10.

@userreddit No, not possible.

You can use usb key as storage and then use that on your computer, it will be much faster and it's better anyway

@voljega Hmm, what about ethernet? I tried to plug my Pi3 into ethernet and it didn't work. Is there a way to force the Pi3 to use ethernet so that the transfer goes faster?

[userreddit]

@voljega I will probably use a USB stick for some. However, I have a lot of multiplayer games that I would like to have my USB slots open for. Yes, I could use a powered hub, but I'm trying to keep this setup portable.

@userreddit it should work on ethernet, debug your connection with your box

[userreddit]

@voljega I'm not sure how to go about debugging it. I'm an absolute noob.

@userreddit look in the menu of EmulationStation if your pi gotvan ip adress and if it's only numbers

[userreddit]

@voljega I mean, it shows my IP address if that's what you mean. There has to be a faster way to get the roms onto the microsd card.

@userreddit I meant with ethernet, not wifi !

Wirh your usb plugged in, you can use the file manager from within kodi as well and have an interface.

Another option could be to use a live cd with any linux distribution, like ubuntu.
