    what you need:

    1.flashfxp you can get this here

    http://www.flashfxp.com/download.php

    2.an xbox hard modded or softmodded with evox dashboard

    3.a spare Ethernet cable to connect to your wireless router (must have one)

    ok connect the Ethernet to the router.

    turn xbox on go to setting's network make sure it's in auto ip

    as in DHCP enable :yes

    FTP SERVER
    ENABLE:YES
    USER:XBOX
    PASSWORD:XBOX
    PORT:21
    MAX NO OF USERS:2

    save and exit reboot the xbox

    and now you should see your xbox ip

    now on your PC open flashfxp

    click on the lightning bolt click quick connect type in your xbox ip
    user name and password

    and the xbox folders should apear

    congrats your done!!!!

    But why use a payware (and IMHO flawed) FTP app when free open source is easily available? http://filezilla-project.org/

    Otherwise a good synopsis of the process. :)

    Thanks for the quick guide. Now I have to get an ethernet cable long enough to connect to my Xbox in order to try it.

    However, first I have a few questions:

    1) Will it work if I'm connecting my Xbox to my eWire modem, which has a built-in wireless router?

    2) Will it stream videos and music straight from my PC to my Xbox, so I can play them on XBMC? Will they play as if they were playing straight off a DVDr in your Xbox drive?

    3) If it's using your router, I assume it's also using your internet connection. If this is the case, does this mean that, every time you stream something, it counts as data transfer?

    I ask because I have only a 60GB/month download limit.

    4) Can Microsoft detect that you're using a modchip in your Xbox?
    If so, what can they do to you (or, should I say, your Xbox)?

    Thanx for the guide. I've had loads of problems with ftp'ing in the past and now I've transferred many games and files from my laptop to my xbox, thanks again.

    to address some of these..

    1) Will it work if I'm connecting my Xbox to my eWire modem, which has a built-in wireless router?

    No reason it won't

    2) Will it stream videos and music straight from my PC to my Xbox, so I can play them on XBMC? Will they play as if they were playing straight off a DVDr in your Xbox drive?

    You need to set up samba and a share location.. then access the pc through xbmc just like any other location

    3) If it's using your router, I assume it's also using your internet connection. If this is the case, does this mean that, every time you stream something, it counts as data transfer?

    I ask because I have only a 60GB/month download limit.

    No.. it's internal so it shouldn't ever get outside

    4) Can Microsoft detect that you're using a modchip in your Xbox?
    If so, what can they do to you (or, should I say, your Xbox)?

    Yes.. they have ways to verify the motherboard and hdd serial number pairing.. and dash version.. that kind of thing. If they catch you playing a modded system online you will get that motherboard banned from live FOREVER. (unless you change the eeprom and hdd pair.. not worth the expense.. buy a used stock xbox to play on live.

Its a V1.0-1.5 ( i know this as its a crystal and was bought about 6 months after the 1st xbox release. Now the xbox says its IP is 192.168.1.1 (I Changed It To That),
    Username and pass are The Standard Root/Xbox(Was 3 yrs ago Doubt it will have changed coz i Havent changed it), FlashFXP and CoreFTP both have same info in (no gateway) and i get about 10 seconds of waiting then BAM cant connect to 192.168.1.1.... Im Pissed aint slept in 2 days wasted around £50 of disks and seriously contemplating on taking the first object infront of me and smashing the xbox up with it....

    I want to flash it with EvolutionX V2.5 E-Boot.

    I then want to Linux it via that.

    Anyone help???

    EDIT of last post....

    Seems i have a X2.6 chip, had a further look into this today i also noticed that one of the soldered cables are burnt around the plastic coat i have no idea if this is effecting it as there are no bare wires showing and its only surface burn, will replace and update.

    Sorry For Technically triple posting another update i got a V1.6?

    I dont know whether its a/b or just a 1.6 but its an 05(china) and has the same Vid Chip and RAM as a 1.6 + its year and week is in the same timezone as the 1.6? also its a crystal ive heard of 1-1.5 crystals but mines is a 1.6 due to later production.... however all the 1-1.5 crystal boxes ive heard of ive now been told were Repaired using Random bought parts therefore making them 1-1.5 or in some cases different 1.6 versions.

    So let me get this straight BigMikedm You are trying to FTP via Internet Xplorer... ?


    If Not still use this way its WAYYYY easier.
    Go onto IE and Type in URL box HTTP://YOURXBOX'S IP (actually put your xbox ip).

    It should connect to it and bring up ( depends on which chip you r using) the (for example) Xecuter Flash bios Version(whatever).

    Now click browse go to the area where your bios is stored in the browse menu and select it now click Flash and Wait say 15 Minutes Then Switch over to your newly flashed bank and enjoy, If anything goes wrong i am not to blame its your own fault if the flashed bios screws up during Flashing (LIKE my previous did as i used the wrong version (Stupid move).

    If you just want to FTP to your box then Type into the URL box,

    HTTP://Username:password:XBOXIP
    (if this doesnt work A) wrong IP B) wrong username or pass C) Maybe ive forgot what way its meant to be typed..


    Only other way i can think is

    HTTP://USERNAME:pASS/XBOXIP (I think the first on is right tho, if not Google it "How to FTP via Internet Explorer")

    Sorry if you feel as if im talking to you like you are stupid but i like to lay out my ideas in the simplest of ways so Whoever reads it can understand it Regardless.

    EDIT: also Flash FXP has Tendancies to Bulls**t you and say cant connect, dont know why it just does, If you use a router go to it take you ethernet thats connected to your xbox and plug it into the router and use the computer connected to the router by ethernet to FTP it Sometimes a PC (Directly) connected to xbox by ethernet doesnt work well or at all. one other thing is if your doing it by router like i just said then make sure your cable is a "Straight-Through" (In other words have a look at the small colored cables in the clear head on both ends they should look like they have been mirrored) If the Green is in a different slot which makes it uneven then its a crossover.
