Title: Boost Mode Ftp
Post by: guythnick on May 27, 2004, 05:45:00 PM
Is there an FTP client for PC that utilizes Ava's boost mode?  Or else is there a way to transfer files from PC to xbox with qwix that aren't game isos.  I have a lot of video files that would love to be transfered with boost mode.  <

Get FileBooster
Simple FTP client capable of pushing files to the Avalaunch(info) dashboard (or other xbox software compatible with avalaunch's boostmode) at blazing speeds of 10-11 mb/sec. Now you can upload your AVI's, JPG's, MP3's or whatever you like with boostmode.
This little application was prototyped and developed in less than 2 hours so don't judge it too hard if it has bugs or are missing features.

FileBooster is not very friendly. Does anyone know how to enable boost mode in FlashFXP?  <

You cannot.

Boost mode is not an ftp standard, it's a protocal that was developed by Team Avalaunch and Devenic (Qwix's author).

It's a fairly simple protocal that is starting to be adapted by other dashboards and applications biggrin.gif.

For now FileBooster is your best bet, until this functionality is found in Qwix.

Filebooster is cool and all, but it would of been really nice to actually see it work as a FTP client instead of just something that sends files to the xbox. Sometimes I have to look around to see where I should put files.  <

Yea

maybe l8r on one will be developed. (cross fingers)  <

Filebooster was bashed together in a short time and therefore very simple. Qwix took many weeks to do...

I am currently doing a Delphi class which is able to queue up files, upload and -yes- download. It works with both Synapse and Indy TCP components...

I might do a Filebooster 2 which can browse Xbox and queue up send and receive files much like FlashFXP.

But since this functionality will come someday for Qwix the motivation is little.

I'm thinking of releasing the Delphi class for other developers to use to boost enable their applications.

What do you guys think?

Samle of code:

 BoostFTPClient := TBoostFTPClient.Create;
 with BoostFTPClient do
 try
   if AutoDetectAvalaunch > 0 then
   begin
     ConnectAvalaunch(0);

     UploadQueue.AddFile('D:\My Documents\My Videos\Trailers\Dawn_of_the_Dead_720.wmv', 'f:\');
     UploadQueue.AddFile('D:\My Documents\My Videos\Trailers\The_Punisher_720.wmv',     'f:\');

     DownloadQueue.AddFileWithSize('f:\Dawn_of_the_Dead_720.wmv', 132830091,'d:\');
     DownloadQueue.AddFileWithSize('f:\The_Punisher_720.wmv', 173541412, 'd:\');

     if (Sender = btnUpload) then
     begin
       if UploadQueue.ProcessQueue then
         showmessage('Done uploading!');
     end
     else if (Sender = btnDownload) then
     begin
       if DownloadQueue.ProcessQueue then
         showmessage('Done downloading!');
     end
     else if (Sender = btnAll) then
     begin
       if ProcessBothQueues then
         showmessage('Done uploading and downloading!');
     end;
   end;
 finally
   Free;
 end;


Easy to use, eh?  <

Can you use boost mode when transfering directly from xbox to xbox when both are using Avalaunch?  <

I use FlashFXP and get around 8000-9000kb/s... seems like boost is working... it's definately faster than transferring files between any 2 machines on my lan...

jschramm: Yes you can

countz3r0: flashfxp does not support boost mode since it is a protocol developed by team avalaunch  <

can we use boost mode when transfering stuff from the XBOX to PC!!!

Like when we want to copy a game... we need to be able to get it quick and fast  <

I have a hard time believing you are getting 10-11 mb/sec with flashfxp from xbox...

I do all the time when transfering large files. It's when transferring thousands of tiny files that it goes as slow as all hell.

Does anyone have any idea how far off a new release of Quix is with this much anticipated functionality?

I just got one question, don't want to post a new topic just for this.

Where the heck do I enable boost in Qwix? I can't find it in the XML file.

Thanks in advance.

You should actually read the readme's.  But to help you out, boost mode is automatically enabled when you run your Avalaunch dash.  Just go into Network and then FTP settings and double check.

HI ultrabrut,
Can you make FileBoost into a open source effort?
I can help you improve it.
Thanks,

Dito that about Open Source...
Maybe I could put some hours of coding into Fileboost too..

Running Delphi here too..

I maybe could host a site for the project too if needed..

Or maybe if not going to be that serious about it, you could put the souce up somewhere for download.. for both the Class ans FileBoost..

Or just mail me a private copy of it if u want, PM me or write a note here and I'll provide you with an mail address..

I would really like to see filebooster expanded as well.  Is Qwix development even still continuing?  It's been at version 1.01 for over a year and I haven't seen any signs of it being updated.  If it would just have support for adding entire folders to the batch queue instead of just .iso's I would be happier than a bug in a rug!  Someone please pursue this!

Qwix development is still continuing ... it's just that the Dev's don't believe in releasing a new version every week.  There is a high standard to maintain, and with external forces keeping the dev's busy, they will be addressed when they are addressed.

If you are having difficulties getting qwix to work, we suggest either making sure you are using an Avalaunch + Qwix combination, make sure your firewalls in SP2 either have Qwix on the allow list or are disabled completely.

If you still can't get it to work .. you might want to try other tools.

As for FTP boost support, last I heard, the author of FlashFXP was trying to incorporate it into FlashFXP but then said he'd have to rewrite his protocal to do so and I think left it at that.  you could alwasy head to efnet into #flashfxp and ask bigstar, the author.

For now, I find that creating iso's and extracting them is sometimes the fastest way to transfer many small files .. (like XBMC for example) .. it's not as fast as using a boost enabled client .. but it's many times faster than using a standard ftp client.

I seem not to have a problem getting 10-11 mb/s with a 100mb Full Duplex Connection (Crossover, 100mb lan). Boost mode would be great to incorporate in flashfxp though. An already great client gets better....

the boost mode ftp program is bad to use, but it could do with just one improvement

the ability to upload folders and not just files
