Tutorial: How to FTP in to your Xbox

If you go to control panel and then firewall settings there should be a tab at the top labelled exceptions..check that whatever ftp app you have is listed in there and that the box is checked.. It's a bit funky getting it to work but when you do work it out you'll wonder what was so hard.

Also double check all the numbers on both the pc and the xbox.. still gets me sometimes. and that the ftp is set to enable on the xbox.. The xbox IP should be on the dash screen..if you have a skin that isn't showing that info change to one that does while you're setting it up.

 

Flash fxp was ticket already under the exception tab.

and iv checked both ips.

and still no change


i REALLY appreciate your help

 

any one?
please help

im stuck!

 

I was just ftp-ing fine, until this blackout hit, and now I can't get through. At first it said the problem was the server reset, now it just times out. we've used the same IPs, same settings, same method, but nothing is working.

any ideas on what I can try?

I would appreciate any help available.

 

ok i am getting the same problem as iamaznman i got the FTP to work the first time i transferred some music and now when i went to FTP again i got a connection failed my settings are as follows
i just tryed it again and now i got a timed out error
type: blank space there
ip : 0.0.0.0
line status :100/full duplex
ethernet MAC address 00:50:F2:2E:69:1C
setup network: yes
use static ip : yes
ip :192.168.0.3
subnetmask:255.255.255.0
default gateway : 192.168.0.100
DNS : 0.0.0.0
DNS : 0.0.0.0
setup delay : 0
skip setup if no link : no

anyone no what is going on

 

Is your PC IP the same as the default on the xbox? try that and check that passive mode is enabled in your ftp app.. Can't say for sure where it is but usually somewhere in settings. Otherwise try rebooting the box while the pc is connected. I noticed that the xbox hasn't assigned an IP in the dash.

 

someone please help.

Very nice tut mate, gonna give this a go this week. Thanks.

Edit: Any chance you can get that last image to show?

 

It seems that some people are struggling with this whereas it works first time for others... Here is something I put together last year.

XBOX NETWORK SETUP GUIDE

1. disable any firewalls (or set them to ALLOW when trying to connect to your xbox).

2. Disable the LAN connection and connect the crossover cable to pc and xbox.

3. Right click the LAN connection (under START/CONTROL PANEL/NETWORK CONNECTIONS), click "properties", under the "general" tab, go down the list, click on "Internet protocol (TCP/IP)" then click properties again. Use the following settings;-
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: (leave blank)

Click OK.

4. On your desktop, you need to see an icon labelled "My Network Places" (If its not there, right click on your desktop, click "properties", click "desktop" tab, then click "customize Desktop...", tick the box at the top for "My network places" and click OK, and again OK to exit display properties).
Right click on "My Network Places" and select "add new network place", then click the writing which says "sign up for online storage or connect to a network server", a wizard thing pops up, click NEXT, the next screen brings up a list of service providers, highlight the 1 which says "Choose another network location........." then click NEXT, in the space type this
ftp://xbox:xbox@192.168.1.200
click NEXT, the next page is the name, your choice, I just put XBOX on mine, click NEXT, then untick the box (open this..... when finished", click FINISH

NOTE: ALL THE SETTINGS ABOVE ARE ASSUMING THEY ARE LEFT AS DEFAULT ON EVOX, IF YOU CHANGED THEM PUT THE PASSWORD BACK TO "XBOX" AND THE IP BACK TO 192.168.1.200 OR THESE SETTINGS WONT WORK!!!

5. On xbox, goto settings and make sure it says "use static IP" YES.

in network settings put..
IP 192.168.1.200
SUB 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT 192.168.1.1

6. Reboot your xbox, on evox dash it should display the IP as 192.168.1.200 (if it does not take note of step 5. and make sure the IP is set to this).

7. Re-Enable the LAN on your pc, a bubble pops up "LAN Connection 100.0 Mbps ..."

8. Finally, double click the "My Network Places" icon on your desktop and open the folder named XBOX (or whatever you specified in step 4.) and it should show you your xbox hard drive (C,E,F,X,Y,Z and D is the DVD-Rom).

thanks 2 xboxd00d over at xboxscene..(with slight edit 2 make it work 4 me)....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Hi
I am a newbie, I have Unleash X how do i change my ip?

 

Try looking in Network on the dash.

 

But there is only one option that says restart network

 

System > settings > network... Go down to IP address..whatever and press A..remember to save and exit..then restart network

 

i am sorry, but i first i go to system but there are only theseoptions: memory, misc, format menu, skins,

Try in Misc then..don't have a clue what kind of unleash that is?? probably some softmod thing. Don't try changing your dash apart from network settings.

 

hey there! i'm newcomer!
i followwed your instructions to connect my pc and my xbox and i failed

1)i use a crossover cable

2)i also use flash FXP program or Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional 2006

3)i put:ip-->192.168.0.3 and for the username i typed xbox, and for the password i typed xbox.

4)it showed me this:
WinSock 2.0 -- OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006
[R] Connecting to xbox -> IP=192.168.0.3 PORT=21
[R] Connection failed (Network is unreachable)
[R] Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #1
[R] Connecting to xbox -> IP=192.168.0.3 PORT=21 (attempt # 1)
[R] Connection failed (Network is unreachable)
[R] Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #2

5)what i did wrong?pls help me!!!!!

 

Network unreachable..either the ethernet card is disabled..the firewall is blocking..the xbox has FTP set to no, or you have the numbers wrong somewhere. Check everything again.. lol

 

How do i know if it is softmoded, and the version of unleash is 0.37
