Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2005 5:25 pm Post subject: FTP Questions
Ok. I give up.
I have tried to connect my laptop to my softmod xbox I installed Evox
and have been able to go to the proper screens to toggle between the launch dvd, games on hdd, etc. Now I'm trying to install apps like DVD2XBOX and XBMC. I have read alot of the forums about the FTP and I may be just stupid but I still can't figure it out.
I am using Flashfxp because I heard that this on is the easiest. So here are my dumb questions.
1)To hook the laptop up to the xbox the transfer files I just run the ethernet cable from my laptop to the back of the xbox right?
2)In the easiest step by step way can someone tell me how to set up the ftp to xbox line.
I am running Flashfxp 3.2.0 build 1080
Can someone please explain to me how to do this
thanks in advance

no you can not use an ethernet i dnt believe i used a crossover and worked a charm another nasty thing to look out for is if your computer is custom made make sure it is fitted with a networking card coz i got a sting when i found out mine wasnt and iw as forced to either use a router or my laptop
luckily for me my laptop worked a charm with a crossover _________________ V1.3 / V1.4 xbox Retail hard drive xecuter 2.6 CE Thomson Dvd drive

A crossover is totally different from a normal network patch lead which you use with a router/hub/switch etc etc
If you have a router just use a normal network patch lead like you have to connect your xbox --->> ROUTER/HUB and then to your PC/LAPTOP
If you want to connect directly from LAPTOP ---> XBOX you must go and buy whats called a crossover network cable. The ends on the network cable are totally opposite.
anyway, you can get them from any normal computer place or networking place.

I do have a wireless route. I will go and get a cable that you suggest. hopefully this will work. If not look forward to some more questions.
I have connected straight from the router into the xbox and I do get a ip address showing that it is connected but through flashfxp program I can't get it to connect. If I get the crossover network cable it will be easier right?
Anyway I'll post a little later with a big thanks or some more stupid questions

Ok I got a crossover network cable and I still am not able to get the flashfxp to work.
If I unplug the cable from the xbox the laptop notices it so I know there's a connection.
I open FlashFXP and the left side shows my computer fofders and right side is blank. I click the Session button and then Quick Connect. In the new window I enter my xbox ip address (192.168.0.200). Enter Xbox into the username and password. The Port is default at 21 and remote path is left blank then hit connect.
Down below it shows that it is connecting to 192.138.0.200 then shows Connection fails connection timed out. It will repeat it over and over
What am I doing wrong now?
