lo,

i am trying to get xbox media centre to run and ftp in the previous release (01-10-03) there was a filezilla ftp but this appears to have gone in the latest release (18-10-03) is it possible to run an ftp on the latest realese? (do i need to use the python scripts, if so how?) any help would be a preciated as i'm trying to get it so as i can use it as a dashboard but if i cannot upload files to it its not of much us in that function.

thanks

xbmc don't have a build-in ftp server yet

i am aware it doesn'y have a built in one but the python scripting allows an ftp server to be run but i cannot work out how to get it to link into the xbox folders (if this is posible at all)

ok after a bit of mucking about with the supplied start_medusa.py i came up with the following which creates an ftp server on separate ports for c,e and f (c=8021, e=8022, f=8023) using the anon account which has full write rights for some reason. does anyone know how to get it to link to the root of the xbox so that it can have one ftp serve for the whole box?

oh and does anyone know if i can remove any of the bits that the start medusa starts (i can't be aresed to try removing them in turn until it fails)

does anyone know how to get it to link to the root of the xbox so that it can have one ftp serve for the whole box?

you will have to create something like a virtual directory, which contains all the xbox drive letters. but i don't know if that will work with medusa.

about the anonymouse account. it's a modification i made just for testing. wanted to see if it was possible to upload a file to the xbox.
you could open up ftp_server.py and have a look at line 961

why didn't you ay it was a python ftp-server then i wouldn't have moved it to suggestions forum, now chaning topic to be clear & moving back
