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.

uh sshd is running. use it

Hehe... And how do I use sshd to copy someting to XBMC?

Ah...

SFTP is the easy solution I am looking for

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

i use wincsp - nice and easy

I use samba server super fast and drag and drop http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=60331

I use both, Do I win ?

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 But then again, I use Linux; I guess the other OSes may be a bit outdated on that front still

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,
Tobias

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