Hi!

I'm currently using XBMC Live 9.11-Repack.

It's installed on my harddrive, and I wrote a user and password when installing.


When I see the wiki about connecting to XBMC via FTP, it says that "xbmc" is both the user and password. This seems rather unsafe for me.

However, when I used WinSCP to my XBMC Live computer, I couldn't use xbmc as user and password, only MY custom user and password from the install.

Does this mean I have my personal password, and the HTPC is safe?


Is it so that "xbmc" is ONLY the user and password when running it Live, not installed to USB or HDD?

When installing live you pick the user name and password to use, there is no xbmc account unless you add it.

Sounds like that part of the wiki is out of date / using xbmc as an example.

In addition to this, you cannot connect via ftp unless you add support for it.

Why on earth would you expose the FTP-server or the entire XBMC computer for that matter outside your LAN?

The FTP server is a part of the XBOX version and is not present in other versions of XBMC...

Well SFTP is on 22 by default. I think thats probably what he is referring to?
