Tutorial: How to FTP in to your Xbox

shawty · Dec 12, 2009

anyone knows how to ftp to filezilla with router and xbmc?
I used to ftp with crossover cable (you can see my noob questions in the first page of this thread) but i recently got a router and can't connect, PimpDawg says you have to switch static off, guess xbmc didn't exist back then or wasn't popular, but when I change to DHCP I lose my xbox IP info, I tried logging in with previous 192.168.0.3 settings but won't get past "waiting for welcome message"
is this already solved?

This is sort of yesterdays news but I am just working on it now, so bear with me and help please.
I have successfully modded my V1.0 Xbox with a Xecuter 3CE chip with lastest BIOS version 3294. I have the Xbox wired via CAT5 patch cable to my Linksys wireless N router. My network is setup like this, sat internet resides at 192.168.01 which connects to internet port of linksys which is at 192.168.1.1 and gives out IP's starting at 192.168.1.100. Every client device so far as worked perfectly with this (IE: Wii, wireless printer, laptop, until the Xbox. The X3 config live screen shows the Xbox IP as 192.168.1.105, the Linksys shows this in the DHCP reservation tables and has the Xbox's MAC address. I have tried statis and DHCP modes in X3 config live, I've tried changing the gateway to 192.168.1.100, etc. I've tried with win fire wall off.
Yet when I connect vis Filezilla it connects, shows the Xbox's folders, lets me create new directories but when I try to transfer a file, Filezilla says connected...waiting for welcome message, then times out and keeps retrying.
I have also tried IE 8 FTP method and again it sees the Xbox but when I say open FTP in windows Explorer it times out at some point and says access denied.
What the he77 is keeping me locked out or what am I doing wrong? I feel it is something simple that I do not know. Is their a bug in the X3 bios with the FTP?
I need help. All I am trying to do is get XBMC over on it for now and later I want to use the Xbox to stream SD movies over LAN to my TV. I think I could burn a DVD-R with XBMC Installer Deluxe but that doesn't solve the streaming part and it's a nagging matter of the fact that this should work, dang it.

An Easy Way To FTP To Your Xbox

One of the most popular questions in Xbox forums are "How do I FTP to my Xbox?" So I figured I would write the ultimate guide on how to do this as effectively as possible. If anybody has anything to add to this, please post a reply.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol; this allows you to transfer files from your computer (host) to another computer/object (client). You can use either a crossover cable to connect your Xbox directly to your PC, or a router (both ways are discussed below). When you connect through a router, DO NOT use a crossover cable! Use standard straight through cable. The program we will be using to FTP in to the Xbox is the popular FlashFXP. You can download FlashFXP right here off of Afterdawn, or from here http://teammodders.com/download.php?action=category&cat_id=2.

How to FTP to your Xbox Dashboard using a Crossover Cable

Before I begin, you need to make sure that you are indeed using a CROSSOVER CABLE. That is a huge beginner mistake.

1) Now, you may want to make sure that your firewalls are all turned off, and possibly your anti virus software for the time being. In your custom Xbox dash (i.e. Evolution X, Avalaunch, Unleash X etc.), make sure your settings are configured for STATIC, and change your IP address to this, 192.168.0.3 Also, make the Xbox's primary DNS the same as your computers IP address shown below (192.168.0.4). Scroll down, and click SAVE before you exit that screen!

2) On your computer, go to "Start" "Control Panel" "Network and Internet Connections" "Network Connections" Then right click your "Local Area Connections" and click "Properties" Click on "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" and then click the "Properties" button. Now, make sure that the "Use the following IP address" is selected. Type in this IP address, 192.168.0.4 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 Click "Ok" Note: your computer may need to be restarted if you are using an older version of Windows.

3) Reboot your Xbox now, and if your computer is running an older OS than Windows XP, reboot that also.

4) Now, open up FlashFXP and click the lightning bolt.

5) A window will popup as shown below.

6) Type your Xbox's IP address in the "Server or URL" text box (192.168.0.3). Port should stay at 21. If your dash is using it's default settings, your user name and password should both be xbox (all lowercase). Now click connect and within a few seconds, you should see a picture as shown below with your Xbox folders on the right hand side. Now you can transfer files to and from your Xbox!

How to FTP to your Xbox Dashboard using a Router

Before I begin, you need to make sure that you are NOT using a crossover cable, but a straight through cable. Again that is a huge beginner mistake. If you need help connecting your Xbox through your router, Xbox.com has a tutorial on how to do this: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/connect/router.htm Here is a basic picture taken from xbox.com on how your setup should look like:

1) Again, you may want to make sure that your firewalls are all turned off, and possibly your anti virus software for the time being. Also, make sure that your Router is 100% working. Now, connect your straight through Ethernet cord into your Xbox, and the other in to a port on the router. Boot up your Xbox. In your settings in your custom dash, make sure that the "Static" connection is turned to "Off", then scroll down and click SAVE. Reboot your Xbox. Go back into your settings on your dashboard and make sure that DHCP is now enabled, and that you have an IP address showing. Now, it's time to open up FlashFXP...

2) Open FlashFXP and click the lightning bolt.

3) A window will popup as shown below.

4) Type your Xbox's IP address in the "Server or URL" text box (IP address varies per Xbox). Port should stay at 21. If your dash is using it's default settings, your user name and password should both be xbox (all lowercase). Now click connect and within a few seconds, you should see a picture as shown below with your Xbox folders on the right hand side. Now you can transfer files to and from your Xbox!
