XBMC is way to easy to use with a NAS.

But what if I want to add stuff to XBMC's hardrive?!?

The first question I get when installing XBMC is "How do I copy stuff to it?" and I used to use rsync, but that does not work in the latest Beta...

Is there a easy way to copy something to a XBMC live installation?

I have a backup file of the old XBMC database, and I rsynced it to my laptop, but I dont know how to copy it to my new XBMC... rsync does not work, and is not installable and ssh is not installable.

Ah...

SFTP is the easy solution I am looking for Smile

Just open Filezilla with ip user and password and use port 22 Smile
Now I can browse XBMC like a FTP server Smile

I use my normal file manager (since my XBMC computer is named "nero", I just enter "sftp://nero" into the address bar). But then again, I use Linux; I guess the other OSes may be a bit outdated on that front still Wink
XBMC on a barebones (K)Ubuntu 10.04
....on a PIII 600mHz with a GeForce 8400GS 512mb PCI, yes my HTPC can play hi-def videos despite being mostly manufactured in 1999.

On windows (and linux) I usually use FileZilla, which is free and open source, just specify sftp and xbmc as user and your password for the xbmc box as password (xbmc as default iirc)

cheers,

Ive been using the file manager built into XBMC to copy stuff from the network server to the XBMC hard drive.
