Tutorial: How to FTP in to your Xbox

I bought a Computer Network Cable from RadioShack. It says Category 5e. Is it suppose to be used for the routher method or the crossover method? I tried to use it as a crossover but it didnt work. Do i have to be connectec to the internet to use the crossover method becasue I only have one port to put it in and I already have a ethernet cord in that port. Also I was wondering could I do it on a computer thats connected to the internet using a wireless adapter?

 

To do the crossover cable method, you do not need to be connected to the internet. You take the crossover cable, plug that into your port that you use for the internet and plug the other end into the xbox. As for the wireless adapter...i think it should work. so as long as your xbox is connected to the internet.

You need a router if you dont have one already. One port connected to xbox, one to pc and the lan port to the modem. I dont know how to do the router method...never really found out....i personally prefer the crossover cable because i rather not have cables going through my house. =)

 

but do I have the right cable?? it doesnt say crossover cable.. I t says computer network cable

 

iunno...lol check the internet? you're guess is as good as mine...lol go to google and check fastest and easiest thing to do

'ello think I'm being dumb but hey wots new. want to load slayers auto installer2.6 which i've go burn to dvd ok, but cant back up my Cdrive with flash fxp keep timing out
my settings are:
static ip. yes

try running the autoinstaller off of the dvd itself and back up that way. I think thats the way i backed up my c drive before i installed slayers. good luck

 

Worked it out. changed the xbox ip so it wasn't near the wireless one so it didn't get as confused as me. i am running slayers of dvd till i back c drive up. thanks again happy xmas x

 

Happy Holidays to everyone ^____^ and ChutneyD, congrats on working it out. Happy modding!

AVALAUNCH-Related Scenario
Hey Guys,
I just made my first FTP(FlashFXP-availalbe on site) using the guide, and alot of reading. I have a moddded xbox(Avalaunch-Executor combo) and using a STRAIGHT patch cable CAT5 off of a Linksys router. I have found out that some of information I was getting was a bit tweaked and each persons xbox and scenarios are different. Here is the tip that got me going. First off I checked all my settings as the guide instructed. But the first success was being able to get online. I was looking in my NETWORK SETTINGS, and got the address that my xbox was puilling up. It indicated the 192.168.0.2 address. I put this address in the QuickConnect box(FLASH FXP) and kept getting a time out message, basically saying I was not making the connection from my PC, to the XBOX.
But I knew that I was on the right track, because I was able to plug in the Network cable from my router, to my xbox and use the browser installed on my xbox dash called LINKSBOKS. I was able to surf and pull up pages.
What clued me into the correct address to connect to was, on Dashboard, down on the bottom left of the screen. It shows the time connected to your router/internet connection, and the exact address that worked for (ME) to get my Xbox/PC to talk. I put that address in the quick-connect box on FlashFXP, and entered the user name "xbox" and password "xbox" (do not include the quotes) and boom! I had FTP orgasm! I did it. All was connected, and I was able to look inside my xbox. I hope this helps at least one person out there, if not, keep on reading and trying it all out.

 

i m using XBOX MEDIA CENTER as my dashboard and i have looked everywhere to try and get help on FTPing my xbox to PC but every forum is using a different Dashboard so can someone guide me through the steps of FTPing my xbox to PC using XBOX MEDIA CENTER. i would really appreciate it.

 

i going to try all this ftp to xbox i was wondering if i have any problems who i can ask i am a bit new to this site...but i catch on fast i understand the whole guide for the FTP to the XBOX...i jus might get some trouble when tryin to get the IP and stuff out of my xbox...

 

rccland..as for using xbmc as your dashboard..haven't heard of it, but hey if that is what you are doing then nice. I am sure that ftping to the xbox should be the same...from what i've experienced through the different dashboards..they are all about the same. just set static ip to yes, use a crossover cable, set your comp to ip 192.168.1.4 and set your xbox to 192.168.1.5 and set your default gateway on both comp and xbox to 192.168.0.1 thats all I do and it works just fine, i leave dns alone, leave it blank for the pc cand 0.0.0.0 for the xbox.

I highly recommend slayers autoinstaller bc its realy easy for beginners. I just burnt the files onto a cdrw (fits nicely and saves a dvd-r) and ran it off of that. I had to initially ftp with the autoinstaller to backup my xbox contents..afterwards I just installed the evox dashboard through the guide...its also on screen. very easy. To find slayers autoinstaller, check out #xbins...just to the search button up top and type in #xbins and there will be countless guides to connect you to it. first you need an irc client, i suggest mIRC and then get something like flashfxp to ftp.
