I installed linux on the xbox and i want to know how to ftp from my computer to the xbox. There is no modchip, i used the mechinstaller files. What do i do to ftp?
Do you know the IP number of the XBox? If not you can do a broadcast ping
ping 192.168.1.255
(first three numbers need to match your local network, then 255) to see what is connected.
Then ftp 192.168.1.xxx (whatever the IP is). You then have to give username and password. These will be in the documentation for whatever linux distro you installed. I think different distros may use different user/pass.
It's possible ftp is not enabled by default. But at least the docs should give you a working user/pass for telnet or ssh so you can get a command shell on the Xbox.

1. Can you open a console window on the Xbox? Do you have some sort of on-screen keyboard you can use? Enter command 'ifconfig' at the command prompt. It will tell you the IP number (inet addr).
2. Alternatively do you have a DHCP server on your network (maybe in a router/ADSL modem or similar). You should be able to access the DHCP server details through the web admin interface and see what IP numbers it has handed out.
3. Alternatively 'ping 192.168.1.255' (or similar) should get a response from all active machines on the local network. Try with and without the Xbox connected and spot the difference.
4. Check the documentation for the linux distro you installed. It may fall back to a default IP if there is no DHCP server active on the network.
