How bout this one.....I have tried WS-ftp, Flash FXP, and cute FTP and all the same.  I am networking through a 100Mbps switch to the card on my pc and Xbox.  I can send to the box at over 1000KBps  but only get from the xbox at like 9KBps (bytes) which will take me over 12 hours to get a game off the Xbox drive to my PC.  I can't seem to figure out why I can send to it very fast and not receive the same??????

I know this is a troll, but I feel it has to be said.

After having read this thread I don't think I will ever be able to quote a "speed" and feel confident that the other person knows what I am talking about.

So far, everyone here has their own units.

I have seen the following:
kBps (KiloBytes per second)                     Reasonable.
Kbps (Kilobits per second)                        Reasonable.
Kps   (Kilo??? per second)                         Little Ambiguous
ko/s  (WTF?)                                              No, seriously, WTF?
cps    (Characters per second)                  What is this, a spitfire BBS?
Megs (Of what exactly)                             Little Ambiguous
Mbps (Megabits per second)                     Reasonable
MB     (Megabytes)                                    You do NOT have a 100 MEGABYTE per second hub, sorry.

Like I said, most of this is just nitpicking, but some of these posts confused the hell out of me, by using obviously wrong units, or the wrong abbreviations for the correct units.

Lets just iron some stuff out.

There is a difference between a little b, and a big B in k(b/B)ps.
You likely are not transferring over 12mBps (or equivalently 12000kBps) on your 100Mbit connection.
You do have a 100mbit connection, not a 100mByte connection.
And last, but not least, go ahead and put a crossover cable on your cablemodem..............

Agreed Hodr...  I think everyone should use KB/s.  Kb/s is ridiculous... we're not using a modem here.  

And a crossover connection is not going to solve much... at least in my case.  The problem is with the EvoX FTP server.

Actually, that was my point (I guess my sarcasm doesn't cross too well to writing.)

The crossover cable will either not work at all, or make no difference to his modem depending on how "intelligent" it is.  

But KB/s is also, in my opinion, the way to go for reporting transfer speeds.
Connection speeds should be done in mbit though, 100mbit (not 12.5mBit, or 100000KB/s)

I can not seem to connect to my bulletproof FTP server with XB-FTP.  It says it is logged in, but never shows a directory structure.  Then XB-FTP hands up, and i have to restart the x-box.

Any ideas?

you need to give the xbox user access rights to the directorys.
goto users, create new user (xbox) then add the drives you want xbox to access.

biggrin.gif
200KB/s --> 4,500KB/s  to f:\  ohmy.gif
and
3,000KB/s --> 6,000KB/s to other drives

download speeds are not as good as just using FlashFXP and Evox (aprox 10,000KB/s --> 7000KB/s )

very happy now biggrin.gif

am i right in thinking 10,000KB/s is = 9.7MB/s = 81.92Mb/s  ???
thanks
