I've been successfully ftping to my xbox with a crossover cable for some months now. However, I recently just tried to ftp (using the exact same method I have hundreds of times) and it just won't work for me.
My xbox's IP is the default 192.168.100.10, I set my PC's ip to 192.168.100.11
FlashFXP seems to connect when I click the connect button, but none of my xbox's directories appear in its window and I get this in the log window:
Connecting to 192.168.100.10
Connected to 192.168.100.10 Port 21

PORT 192,168,100,11,4,221
nothing happens for a few moments, and I finally get something along the lines of this:
425 Can't open data connection to 192.168.100.11:14852
502 ÿôÿòÿòabor is not implemented.
I've tried a couple of other ftp clients just in case but I get the same problems.
This is indeed puzzling.
