Well..............I am happy for you in the sense that you can FTP to your box, but this:

This means that my buddies can log into my XBOX through the internet and download my games to their XBOX's at their house.

Well that is just not condoned here at tha scene, unless of course your friends own the games they are downloading from you, and if that was so then why would they be downloading them off you in the first place?? Watch what ya say in here

Actually due to the type of files your compressing you get very little space savings if any when your use winrar to compress xbox games and the like.

Many people just use the store setting when using winrar as waiting 40 minutes to compress 2 to 4 gigs only to save a few megs or so makes little sense.

Oops, just a slip of the tongue.  I didn't mean "games" as in actual retail games, I just used the word to represent any kind of file... AVI's, MPEG, PICS, utils, etc.

Besides, games would be too big to be worth FTPing anyways.

I would never use evox as an FTP server.  Not even sure if I can be configured as an internet FTP server.

Don't forget that I control the username and password and would only give it to people I trust.

i actually, like to use Evox as my local ftp server...for some reason, I can transfer files that I normally can't in XBMP without having to rename them.  But honestly, put some restrictions on your C: drive.  you might trust the people you give your password out to, but even smart people can make mistakes and accidently delete stuff.

how are you able to access your xbox from outside of your network?  do you just use the actual ip instead of the router ip??  if so, how do you get the actual ip of the xbox isntead of the router one....(e.g. 192.168.*.*)

thanks

Quick summary...

I told evox to use a dynamic IP address instead of static IP.  This way my router can automatically assign my XBOX an IP address.  It ended up being 192.168.1.102

I used the router's IP address 192.168.1.100 as my gateway address in evox.

Next I used the Port Forwarding section in my router and told it to assign port 21 to the address 192.168.1.102 (xbox).

I then quickly set up the "filezilla server.xml" with a username and password (see the filezilla tutorial).

I ran xbmp and let it sit in the main menu.  Done.

The FTP address for the xbox is my ISP IP address (65.48.xxx.xxx. etc).  You can use www.whatismyipaddress.com to get your WAN IP.

Hope this helps.

Try to follow me on this one... If your xbox is on the internet sharing files... Couldn't a hacker break into it and delete the whole thing?

Wouldn't it piss you off if you got home one night and found it cleaned up?

Just something to consider... Cause well.. I personally would never put it on the net...

[Krill123]

True enough but still... It's still possible to hack a router.

And I don't know about you guys but I spent so much time configuring, upgrading, testing the xbox that I wouldn't want to restart from scratch.

EDIT

nevermind...i got it to work :-)  i was trying to use the evox server....not xbmp server...thanks again

<Item name="Admin IP Addresses" type="string">192.168.1.*</Item>
<Item name="Admin Password" type="string">putpasswordhere</Item>

And download the FZ server interface. You'll be able to watch (from a pc matching the mask) who are logged in on the xbox and what they are doing. You can add users from there and change settings etc...
