How To FTP to your Xbox
NOS---:
I figured this thread is worth starting
1) What does an FTP program do?:
An FTP Program allows access to the Hard Drive of a computer or File Server
2) What does NIC mean?
Network Interface Card
3) How do I set up an FTP?
There are many ways to set up a FTP, Hard and Cheap or Easy and Expensive. Now this requires some basic Computer skills.
Easy and exspensive=Router
Router=35-45$
Ethernet cord=10$
Setting up FTP with an Router
1). Make all the connections. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the Routers WAN port. Connect your PC to port #1 xbox to port #2.
2). Setting up SmartFTP(This is my program of choice, there is others like FlashFTP) Load up Evox or Ltools and write down the IP: (EX:192.168.0.3). Now type the Username and Password(The Defualts are xbox and xbox) then click connect and BAM you have FTP accese to the box.
Hard and cheap=2nd NIC and crossover cable.
2Nd NIC=5$
Xbox system link cord=14$
Setting up FTP with the 2nd NIC
1). Open up the PC and install the Secoend NIC,(Make shure power is unplugged and you have touched mare metal first) Load up Windows and install the Drivers for the NIC. Now With the system link cord, Connect one end to the xbox and the other to the new NIC. Now on the bottom toolbar Click "START" Then "Help And support" and in the "search" box type "ICS" without qouets. then under "Pick a task" select "Enable Internet Connection Sharing on a network connection" only follow step 1,2 and 3. MAke shure you are sharing your INTERNET connection not the xbox's connection.
2). Setting up SmartFTP(This is my program of choice, there is others like FlashFTP) Load up Evox or Ltools and write down the IP: (EX:192.168.0.3). Now type the Username and Password(The Defualts are xbox and xbox), then click connect and BAM you have FTP accese to the box.
It says my xbox is connected but i cannot connect with any FTP programs.
Try to use Internet Explorer. Open up Inter expoler and where you type in your webpag at the addres bar, type FTP://xbox:xbox@(Your xbox's IP goes here):21 Example, FTP://xbox:xbox@192.168.0.3:21
Please tell me if i missed something or if it's unclear!
