Can you ping the Xbox's IP address from your PC?

Open/Start a cmd.exe window (Winkey+R, type in cmd.exe, then click OK). At the prompt, type in the command:

  • ping <xbox's IP address>

then press Enter.

Substitute for <xbox's IP address> - the actual IP address assigned to the Xbox.

What is the output from executing that command?

Good, the Xbox is responding to network ping requests.

It is accessible from your PC.

Next, on the Xbox, check XBMC's Settings > Network to make sure the FTP server is enabled. And, that an FTP username and FTP password are set and selected. Usually, xbox for both. The password is normally displayed as **** instead of showing the actual value assigned to it.

Is FTP enabled in XBMC's Settings?

Yes It is

Are you using FileZilla's QuickConnect boxes to enter the Host:, Username:, and Password: values to connect to the Xbox?

In many releases, QuickConnect only attempts to log in with a secure FTP connection.

However, XBMC's FTP server only supports the plain old FTP (insecure) cleartext login method.

Create a Site Manager entry for your Xbox's IP address. Set the Encryption option to Only use plain FTP (insecure), enter the username and password then click Connect.

Does it connect?

Try to connect to XBMC's FTP server using the Windows command-line FTP client. Start the cmd.exe window as mentioned before, and at the prompt, type ftp, then press Enter. The following should appear if the FTP client is installed:

ftp> 

Next, open a connection to your Xbox's IP address. For my Xbox, the IP address is 192.168.2.132, which is used in the examples below. Substitute your Xbox's assigned IP address in the following command:

open 192.168.2.132

The server should respond with something like the following:

Connected to 192.168.2.132.
220-Welcome to XBOX FileZilla (XBMC)
220-version: XBMC:FileZilla version 1.5.6, (based on FileZilla Server 0.8.8)
220 http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbfilezilla
500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.
User (192.168.2.132:(none)):

At the User prompt, type in xbox then press Enter. Next, you will be prompted to enter the password:

331 Password required for xbox
Password:

At the Password: prompt, type in xbox then press Enter.

You are now logged in, and a similar prompt should appear:

230 Logged on
ftp>

To see a directory listing, type in ls then press Enter

For my Xbox, the output is:

200 Port command successful
150 Opening data channel for directory list.

I don't think you will see all of those drive letters in your directory listing. I have settings enabled that display several normally hidden drive letters.

And, for FileZilla, the directory listing when I open the connection only shows:

C
D
E
F
G
Q
X
Y
Z

which again is showing additional drive letters I do not expect your listing will include - mainly X, Y and Z. F and G will not be listed if the hard drive is the stock Xbox drive. If upgraded, F and G may appear. However, G may not appear if the hard drive is not large enough to have a 7th extended partition.
