Hey guys im going to put the cfw into my ps3 and but the problem is that i only have 8gb usb drive for the games. However, i do have an ethernet cable(cat5) hooked up to my ps3 connected with my router. Also, my PC connected with my router so what i was wondering, if i can use that method of transferring my games through the cable and my router or would it be even be possible? If so, can someone give me a guide on how to do so please it would really help out alot.

Notes
*Remember i dont have a large HDD to put games on*
*Im looking for an alternative way to get what i want and not to go out of my way to buy anything extra*

Well if they are your own games then you should have the discs. Put a disc in, start a backup manager and then copy to your internal hdd.

And if you have a small hdd you wont be able to backup many games. and depending on the games you can get at least 2 games on the 8gb usb stick.

So only solution is get a larger hdd, internal or external, doesnt matter. though there are some games that will not run from external.

I'll assume you are doing all this because your PS3 BD drive is not working, so you must rip with PC. If you make me think any different, I will stop responding and report you to the moderators...

You can transfer games by FTP...over network cable. It also works by wifi, but it works poorly. Gigabit wires will make a difference in transfer speeds. You cannot just play the game from a network share; you have to actually transfer them to the PS3 hard drive. There is a possible route to using a linux PC as a simulated USB hard drive, but I doubt you will want to attempt that.

I would recommend getting a larger HDD for the PS3...they are not expensive these days...a little 500GB would probably be more than you will ever need.
