Connecting to External Media Source via FTP - Sarlic - 2012-02-12

Howdy all:

I'm trying to set up my parents' AppleTV (jailbroken today using the latest version of Seas0nPass and installing Eden Beta 3)

From my FTP server, I see the AppleTV connect to the FTP, the server accepts the user/pass.... 10 seconds later it disconnects.

Here's the server log:

Anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks!

Did some googling and found this: http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19867

Might be related, but doesn't look like they gave a real solution. They mentioned an "anti-hammer" feature so I did a little more searching:

http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23569

"The solution was to create an anonymous account linking to an empty folder"

I have no idea if this is the same issue, but until someone with more brain smarts than I answers, you might give it a shot.

Hi Ned:

Thanks for your response. I tried this stuff and got the same results. If FileZilla is the culprit, I'll happily use a different FTP server software, even one I hae to pay for.

Can you (or anyone else who uses FTP with ATV/XBMC) recommend anything?

Thanks!
