xISO xFER FAQ
« Reply #120 on: May 18, 2003, 09:05:00 PM »
Hey all,

I was one of L!M!T's beta testers. I got an email a while back asking to be a tester again, and then several things happened.

1. no more modchip - sold it at an insane price, i couldn't resist
2. hdd died, lost the email address of who emailed me before.

I recently had a friend over, and he asked me to put more backups on his xbox. I used the new xFer, and i must say, it is totally kick ass. I had no problems whatsoever. On the fly was truly on the fly, the new version is very good. Good work guys.

I still haven't gotten a mod chip yet (sigh, waiting on chameleon), but i'm still willing to beta once i do get one.

Cheers,
S!

Tried a 192.168.x.x IP and still no go.  It FTP's to the xbox, makes the directory, and writes the first file with a size of 0 and stops.  The application doesn't hang it just doesn't copy.  The clock will continue running.  I even check the task manager and the CPU utilization is nil.  I hit abort and it aborts also.  I guess I will go back to the old version for now.  BTW.. The OS is XP.  I've tried about 10 different ISO's so far that none of the other ISO programs have a problem with.  It sounds to me like there is something wrong with the FTP part of the program.

I am unsure what is happening, but I can tell you that this is isolated to your configuration.  I have tried over 207 ISO's laugh.gif with this program and ALL worked!!!

Maybe you can provide more detailed info about your setup. IP info for both your PC and the Xbox, complete with subnet mask, gateway, etc, as well as what ISO's you've tried, whether regular FTP software works and which one, what regular FTP settings work, etc.

The more detailed you are the easier and faster it will be to solve this.

smile.gif Is it available somewhere ?
Just a quick suggestion: would it be possible to make a drop list for the name of the dir with those 2 choices:
- name found in XBE
- name of the directory containing the extracted .iso
This is a personal request as I use the second option on my box and this will save me a Ctrl-C Ctrl-V smile.gif
Keep up the good work !

edit: typo

I'll wait to see if there's something I need to do for digiblur's problem before I release the fix, to keep version chaos to a minimum.

The next feature update (new features, not fixes) will have some enhancements to output directory naming, and will address your request and also do some other cool stuff.

No...  I gave up and went back to 1.0.   My new mobo and Athlon XP CPU is coming next week.  Once I upgrade and rebuild I'll see if I still have the problem.  I'll let you know...  its weird that no one else is having this problem, yet this is the first piece of software I've had a problem with in the xbox scene on the PC.

Ok...  just a few things I did try...  Different Xbox...still no go...  tried it on a different PC with a Windows 2000 instead of XP.  The sucker works beautifully on both Xbox's.   But when I go back to the XP pc, which I'm not having any problems whatsoever on, it connects to the xbox, makes the directory, and transfer the first file with a size of zero bytes then stops.  The counter keeps ticking and I hit the abort button to cancel.

Are you using XP's firewall (or any other firewall software for that matter)?  I haven't tested with it enabled, but I am on XP and have no problems when connecting to my Xbox.  It has been tested with ZoneAlarm Pro without a problem.

And can you tell me if it creates an xfer20.elf file?   Please PM me.

Thank you for taking my request into account !

For digiblur's problem:
It seems to me that there is problem establishing the data socket when it comes to transfer files over FTP.
Directory and file creation are orders that go through the control connection so the 0byte file is normal. Then the xbox should connect to PC on port 20 (FTP-DATA) to receive the content of the file. If there is a problem establishing the socket, then the 0byte file will be there but nothing more.

digiblur: could you monitor the traffic on your network on ports 20 and 21 with a sniffer and post the result ? This way we can confirm my diag is correct or not. I think we'll see everything running smooth on port 21 then a SYN from Xbox to PC on port 20 and nothing more. (all ports here are TCP).

FYI:

v2.0 works fine here with XP Pro and XP Home. Both with Norton IS.

The only other thing I can think of is if he's running into an error in the transfer thread.  The user interface runs in the main thread, and the extraction/ftp stuff runs in a separate thread.  The version of the error logging system I used had problems with threading, but has been fixed with a newer version.  I've incorporated that into the latest internal build, and if digiblur PMs me I'll have him test it out.

just wanted to say, great work L!M!T!!  this is by far the sexiest looking xbox iso tool to date.  And it cuts extraction/uploading time in half.  Great work man, i appreciate it.

Thanks man!

But the v2.0 is not made by me. That's Devenic's baby, so I guess I'll redirect that appreciation to him then. But then again, if you have been using the previous versions, then I guess I can have a slice of that 'thank you' as well  wink.gif
