Here is what I used to do.. but no longer works with 9.11
Steps needed to get it all to work after you’ve connected it to the computer.
1. WinSCP has FTP and Putty. (freeware)
2. Get root access
3. Setup files
STEP 1
Download WinSCP (freeware)
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
STEP 2
1- Open Putty (freeware)
2- type in the field "Hostname (or IP adress)" the IP of your xbmc then press open
3- it will ask you for name type: xbmc
4- then the actual password type: xbmc
then press enter (note it will seem like your not typing but you are)
5- you are loged in
6- Now type: sudo passwd root
7- Follow the instructions
Enter old password then new one
Your all done
STEP 3
First off some vim commands to understand what your doing
w Write (Save)
q Quit (Close)
wq Write and Quit. (Save and Close)
q! Force Quit (Close without saving changes)
To get started
1- Open Putty (freeware)
2- type in the field "Hostname (or IP adress)" the IP of your xbmc then press open
3- it will ask you for name type: root
4- then the NEW password (note it will seem like your not typing but you are)
5- you are loged in
type: sudo rm /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
type: sudo pico /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
copy and paste ( if there is anything in the file delete everything then paste):
