currently xbmc has a client. to do what you are wanting would require a server. there was talk for a time but i think that was the extent of it. more than likely i would suggest the ftp for mass file moving about.

would be nice if you could share the folders on the xbox.
this gives easy access to the xbox, and the opportunity to play dvd's over the network.

this has been suggested before and has been determined that it requires too many resources. a better solution would be a xbmsp server. with this method all xboxes on the network would be able to autodetect eachother so there would be no end user configuration necessary. of course something like this would have to be able to be turned off, especially for those of us running high def resolutions. my suggestion for this would be to have the server built into a dll and have events toggle the server on and off which would significantly increase performance if the server side decided to play a video. by the same token this presents a limitation that if the server is streaming a video to another box on the network the other box would have to stop the video. i'm sure a creative developer could sort out this issue, but i have no idea what would be the best way to get around that limitation.
