TUT!HOW to FTP and BACKUP XBOX GAMES - With Crossover Cable

looks like maybe a firewall problem. try allowing flash fxp/disabling your firewall, and see what happens

 

Hey,
im on dailup internet. would that make a difference?
just one more q,
how do i allow flashxp to disable my firewall? (im definatley a nooblol)
or do i disable it manually in my network settings on my pc?

thanx for your help

Spara

 

go into your windows firewall settings and allow it in there. you can find these if you go into control panel, then security center. also, when you install flash fxp, it should offer to enter it automatically into the firewall, you should tick that box.

 

hey oman, Just a question, i kinda new with all this but when you copy copy the games from you xbox to pc with the crossover cable, does it count as downloading to your computer? Its just i only have 700mb A month and i dont want to go over it!

no, it would not count. seeing as you are not using your internet service in doing this, you are simply connecting 2 computers so to speak, and transferring data-that is not downloading, so even if your ISP did know that this was going on, it would not count towards your 700mb/month download limit (which, i might add, is pretty stupid to have-you should consider changing your ISP).

 

yea i know i need to change... Thanks for the qwick reply

 

no problem, glad to help

 

hi
im newbie to this forum
but not to forums in general.there are always geniouses out there, nice enough to help the little guy
my problem:
i have a modded xbox, xecuter 2.6ce, evoX bios and slayers evolution x dashboard,also have avalaunch.
im tryin to ftp my xbox to the computer, for 3 days in a row now...no success, not happy at all.
i have followed the instructions of countless tutorials
but just today i noticed somwthing
the lights in the ehternet port on the back of my xbox do not turn on when i connect the xbox to the computer
can anyone help me ftp my xbox, MUCH appreciated!
thanks guys

 

oh and i also just found this out
if i go to the system menu and select the 'use original microsoft dash for time and day, dispaly saettings etc.' option, it loads up to old dash(which i thought i had accidently deleted) and the ethernet plug lights up green, and says cable connected. as soon as i go back to the custom dash, it goes away. this happened in both evolutionX and avalaunch

 

looks like maybe your ethernet port is disabled when you are in the custom dash...try using normal internet instead of crossover cable, see if the port at least lights up. if not, it is probably disabled somewhere. look through your settings and see if there is something disabled where it shouldn't be, or maybe even re-install evoX

 

what?
do you mean try a straight through cable instead, if thats what you meant,ill try that now and post my results.
its really frustrating having a chipped box and i cant even ftp! lol.

 

oh great
now ill sound like a dikchead
it wasnt crossover.i thoight it was..well assumed...and assumed wrong
dammit
im goin to buy a crossover cable right now
then it shuld work..if it still dusnt...then ill need help!
lol

 

Well ususally it helps to have one

 

LOL it wasnt crossover? well that may be part of it...LOL

anyways i was only suggesting you try with straight-through cable just to see if it would light up-when youre FTP'ing, always use crossover

 

Ok, hello, i am having a problem with this whole FTP shizzle. I have read countless tuts and I dont know what to do. Look :

I am getting this from FlashFXP. I have a couple of questions, is it ok if your local area network says tahts its unpluged? And I think , THINK, my problem is the cable. How do I distinguish which is which.

 

yes, you have a problem with your cable. a big one, seeing as it says local area connection is unplugged-it should only say that when the xbox is OFF. you need to go and buy an approx. $15 crossover cable and use that. make sure it is a crossover cable, not a CAT5, and also, i do hope that you are trying this with your xbox ON-these are elementary mistakes LOL

 

Lol i am, but how does a cross cable look like? I cant seem to find a picture of it. Can you please. Ty.

 

it looks almost identical to a normal ethernet/CAT5 cable. the only way you would distinguish it between an ethernet cable would be to look at the package in the store. it should say "crossover" or "crossed". unless you have the kind of access to the wire that you can look inside at the colours, just read the labels.

 

when you say *connect crossover cable to ethernet port* on the back of my router i have 3 lan ports, can i put it in there?

 

yea you can
