FTP To Your Xbox Using Windows Explorer/Internet Explorer/FireFox

Well finaly I have gotten somewhere. When I called XBOX live and Verizon for help with my XBOX live not working it seems they messed up all kinds of IPs and such.


Now I can network to my XBOX but I cant transfer any files so I decided since I can access my XBOX now I should be able to FTP using IE.

Ok cool it works but when I put in the password it tells me either the username or password is wrong??????


I put in xbox and xbox for the password.

Any clues?

 

OK now it works when I want to view E: but nothing else. When I want to view others it asks for a user name and password and denies me.


And it only works on unleash x dashboard. I cant do it while in anything else.

 

Check the Xbox dashboard settings, make sure FTP is enabled and that the username and password for connecting is "xbox" and "XBOX"

 

Thanks, I have checked all my dashboards the info is all the same. If I use flashfxp everything works fine so I am just leaving it at that.

 

That's a firewall issue. You can make an exception for explorer but because of the stupid way the windows firewall works it reduces your overall network security.

Attempting to use firefox to connect results in a "400?? PASV not supported" error.

hi all

i have just successfully softmodded my 1st xbox
and have got the FTP going to boot! however i
have one small problem. i can only FTP to the
xbox if i disable my wireless internet connection.
my setup is as follows.

Xbox linked with a Xover cable to a NIC in the PC
PC is linked to the wireless modem router with a
PCI wireless adapter.

The IP for the wireless is as follows

IP 192.168.2.3
SUB 255.255.255.0
asigned by DHCP

the modem router is 192.168.2.1 so this is always
the default gateway.

the IP for the xbox is

IP 192.168.2.100
SUB 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.2.1
DNS 0.0.0.0
DNS 0.0.0.0

xbox is static NOT DHCP.

i presume i only have a minor problem
with not being able to run my internet
and FTP network but id like to sort it
as i would like to allow XBMC to access
the net from the xbox. i can link my laptop
to the PC and theres no problems there.
i have read all the TUTS and other threads
related to FTP and i havent found any answers
as yet. please helppppppppppppp.

the net, i have shared the net connection with the
Xbox network but no luck yet. any hints gratefully
recieved pleassssssssssssssssssssse

Ok I have a question for you all. I have a completely unmodded Xbox. No softmods installed. #1: Is it possible for me to FTP to and from my Xbox? #2: If the answer to the last question was "yes", then why isn't it working? I have the settings on the Xbox set to auto (DHCP) and its currently on my network as 192.168.1.133. In SmartFTP, when I try to connect to that (logging in as user: xbox password: xbox), it gives me a message after a couple seconds saying "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.". When I attempt to do it in Windows Explorer, I get a message saying "The connection with the server was reset."

So it seems like the second I connect the Xbox resets the connection? Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

Nope I'm afraid not.

If you were to launch the softmod installer, it opens a temporary FTP link, but you can't do it with a completely unmodified box with no softmod installer.

 

Ah okay well thanks a lot for the quick reply. I think I'm going to install Ndure 1.1 as soon as I get my hands on a USB-ended Xbox controller cable. Then I'll FTP T3CH's latest XBMC build to it and set that as the default dashboard. Thanks again.

 

hey man when i tried doing this through file explorer it said it could not connect...what am i doing wrong?

 

Try making an exception in your firewall for port 21 and explorer.exe. Remember to kill the exception before going back online tho

 

Make sure your network settings are configured properly, dynamic IP on the Xbox and your PCs connection settings for the Xbox also being dynamic, or if you must, then use a static IP on both ends instead.

If that fails, try taking the advice of ja.. Varnull. And make an exception in your firewall, or if the only firewall you are using is Windows firewall, disable that completely in the security centre in control panel, then "manage firewall settings" and just turn it off, and search for a good free one.

 

ok well i dont know what im doing wrong but i cant get this to work is there a sttep by step?

 

also i am using vista not XP or a hacked version either its jsut stock vista

 

i never would of thought of that.

 

i used to ftp when i had windows xp but now i have windows 7 and have tried the way i used to do with xp but have no luck. can anyone help.thanks.............sudeki300

 

del me.

 

It works exactly the same as it does in Windows XP.
