I have been trying to FTP into my XMBC to add media and the connection keeps being refused. I am using the correct IP address and password. Is there any tutorial for this?
thanks in advance.
This is my first install of XBMC ant I cant wait to get it going.

Hello and welcome to forums
At best you can use SFTP port 22. To actually be able to help you more details about your install are required, like how did you install xbmc, what OS is xbmc running and then determine if even SFTP (openssh in case of Linux) is even installed.

Thanks for your quick reply. I installed it from the XBMCbuntu.iso DVD. I opted for the full install and removed Vista from the system.

In that case its probably have openssh installed. The operative word being "probably"
Open up a connection with FileZilla. Enter your IP, the login name you chose during XBMC install and the password. For the port, enter "22."

Thanks!! I'll Give it a shot when i get home.
is "upnp-server" activated?
+ maybe you can create a samba server for windows.

on windows: download putty -> "host name" - your xbmc ip -> open
enter your name and your password you choose on the installation of xbmcbuntu.
select the command and copy them...adding them on the console per right click. after each command push "enter".
Code:
apt-get install samba -y
Code:
smbpasswd -a [Username]
go to the last line per "arrow button down" and add this line.
Code:
[xbmc]
path = /home/[Username] <- your name without [ ]
public = yes
guest only = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
force user = [Username] <- your name without [ ]
inherit permissions = no
[media]
path = /media
public = yes
guest only = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
force user = [Username] <- your name without [ ]
inherit permissions = no
strg+o -> str+x
reboot xbmc -> check your network on windows.
