Hi guys i have a standard xbox running evox. My pc see's the xbox ok but i can no longer get the xbox to see my files. It was all working a little while ago. I have typed in the computer name In xbox settings but evertime i try to go into smb network share or workgroup it as asks for name and password.

You might want to try to update XBMC to the new svn build been a bunch of updates and patches since the aid Ver.

Yeah... I kinda liked the older version better. It let you connect to shared flders on your network. Its not on the newer version. _________________

Im having a new problem. I just got a bunch of new roms, but when i try to ftp them to my xbox, it says transfer failed everytime on some of them, but other ones it transfers. Ive tried this with both flashfxp and smart ftp, and it still wont transfer some of them. Any idea's? _________________

Try shortening the names. The xbox's file system cant support long filenames. I forget what the maximum length is, but its not as long as a pc can support. _________________

Is your computer set up to share the folder XBMC is looking for? Does the Xbox have permission to access the folder? Some antivirus/firewall and even Windows apps can lock the folders up too tight for XBMC to be able to access.
Make sure full rights are given to all users on the folder(s) you want to share.

I was playing with ftp file names a few days back i think the max is around 18 characters give or take.
That seems to be my limit.
