It helps if you have a static IP with your internet provider..but in many cases, as long as you dont shut down the modem (cable or dsl), the IP wont change.
good luck

should be able to... all you need to do is tell your router to forward port 21 to the ip address of your xbox..then your friend would ftp to your internet address...you router would see the request for port 21 and forward the request to the xbox.

ive never even though of doing this. so as long as your xbox is set to a static ip (not dhcp), and you have a static ip from your isp, youll be fine.
let us know if it works or not, im very interested

that could be a problem. they will have a firewall set up, and they will probably be blocking incoming ftp conenctions.
i think you should contact them and tell them what you want to do, and see if they let you do it or not.

And forwarding port 21 to your xbox ip on your router can also make it accessible via ftp from anywhere that has an internet connection. So it can be used to host files for anything on the internet, basically run as a server, if you setup another filezilla username with read only privellages to only certain folders.
Also... forwarding port 8080 to your xbox's ip on your router can enable it to run as an http server. This in conjunction with editing and compliling your own cvs builds to change the webserver root directory to F:, can be very usefull for running websites, hosting all your online pics, or hosting or mirroring any file that you wish, and having it either available or not to the public.
This is extremely usefull for everything listed above and more, especially if you have a separate xbox with a decent sized hard drive that is setup for extreme cooling to run 24/7 as a server.

although i heard if you connect your xbox to a sencond nic card thats in your pc and share the connection it will get you on live if they block you from a router, its worth to try it for ftp and see if it will allow it as well

Of course, my router assigned my Xbox the IP address '192.168.2.5'.
I've also tried to put the Xbox in the DMZ, but that didn't help. Is there anything else that I can try?

ok well ftp uses TCP, so teh UDP one isnt necessary. check the settings for the firwall of the router, thats what's stopping me.

Also, try adding the xbox's IP address to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). Look around for the settings for your DMZ, and add your xbox's IP to it. It pretty much disables the firewall rules to your xbox. And that won't hurt anything, because your xbox can't have any viruses or hackers.
I've tried putting the Xbox in the DMZ, but it didn't work, either.
Thanks for the suggestion, though

I'm assuming you meant port 21. Make sure it's TCP and not UDP.
Also, let me point out that you don't need static IPs for the remote ftp access to work. There are several free dynamic DNS providers around that let you automotically register your dynamic IP, as soon as it changes.
For all the people having problems with port forwarding, it probably requires a case-by-case solution, but it's generally because of firewalls at some point in the network. You should try using a computer instead of the xbox, if it makes the troubleshooting any easier. Try briefly disabling the firewall and see if that works...

Don't bet on that ;PI would never leave anything connected to the network completely unprotected by firewall, tcp wrappers, MAC filters, IP filters, etc...

I've thought that, too, so I changed the FTP port (in UnleashX) from 21 to 1234, and forwarded port 1234 in the router. Still, I can't access the Xbox.

Well... if you aren't stupid enough to use your main ftp login with all privelages to be publicly hosting files so ppl can know your main login/pass, then there should be no problem.
So just add another user to the FileZillaServer.xml in XBMC to have read only privelages to only certain drives/folder, not including C: and your apps folders so they can't see your xml or setting files to find out your main password.
But then again... now that I think about it. Someone could connect to your xbox via ftp and send it a raw command to format the HD. So ya I guess it would be a bad idea, but then again... aren't raw commands sent through ftp still sent over tcp 21? So there's nothing you can do unless you block that port, but then ftp wouldn't be possible... so I guess that's just a risk that you have to take.
But also, if someone did do this, you could look at your xbmc ftp logs to get their ip and report them, because what they did was illegal...
Meh... I dunno...

As for your issue... sounds odd. you can ftp inside the network.. but from the internet it does not work. I'd still say you have an isp issue. Not a router issue.
As a quick test.. form inside your network can you connect using the public ip??

i figured that woudl happen. because basically your sending data from a port to itself. it probably confuses the router, and it drops the packet.

It seems that everything outside the network is getting denied access to the Xbox. I just wish that I could figure out why
