FlashFTP stops transfer after few minutes...

Okay, I just got a new 300GB HD, a new v1.6 xbox which is modded with the X3 and I have flashed it with the 1959 bios using the FLASHbios 3.0.3 HTTP method. Everything is great, except that I am using FlashFXP to transfer games I stored on my PC HD to the new HD in the new Xbox. It transfers fine for about 5-10 minutes then it will just sever the connection. I am using the X3 bios screen to connect FTP, I have v3935 evox dashboard installed, but for some reason when I try to FTP FlashFXP wants to jump to the 1959 bios IP and won't transfer. I have been able to transfer about a game at a time before it quits transferring but it is highly annoying and would like it to simple transfer all the games at once. Any clues as to why this is happening? Is there some setting in the X3 1959 bios that severs an FTP connection after a certain amount of time? If so how do I go about fixing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:shock: I can't believe I didn't even think of this. :shock: My wife is playing THUG 2 right now so I will have to wait and see. I sold my last xbox which was a v1 modded with Xecuter v2.2pro and had a 160GB Maxtor HD and I instantly regretted it even though I made a fatty profit. Been about a year since I have had to share information over a network, a little rusty. I hope it is as simple as disabling my firewalls.

Hmm... turned off syagte pro firewall, turned off windows firewall, turned off norton worm protection, restarted computer even and still had same problem with all these programs turned off... is there any other possibilities?

I just went ahead and did the 95 gigs I had backed up in 2-4 GB chunks. Was highly annoying but it's all in there now. I will be borrowing a friends xbox later this week, still hoping for a fix to this. It seems to transfer fine for about 9 minutes (almost exactly each time) and then the connection is not actually lost it just stops transferring... the transfer bitrate on the bottom of flashfxp slowly drops to zero but the connection is still there (so it says) but I can't access the folders on the xbox either. If I turn the power off the xbox and back on, I get another 9 minutes or so of transfer time before I have to repeat this. Very weird. Any other suggestions, anyone?

I used 2 get this problem when I used a wireless Card(are you guys working wirelessly), all I had 2 do was Change wireless Channels, what I did 2 decide witch was best was create a Dummy file(like u can with BIOS update CDs for FlashBIOS), then selected each channel and transfered the file 3 times on each and noted the time and transfer speed taken for each, then after goin through all 11 of them, I picked the 1 with the overall best Transfer speeds, 2 get overall just add each 3 transfer speeds for that channel 2gether, then divide by 3 and witchever is higher in the end is what i picked, and if some were close I judged by witch 1 was able 2 connect and reconnect 2 my XBOX the Fastest

connect a pc direct to your xbox! make sure you have the speed and duplex the same at each end, try that then, see what happens!

take every thing out of the equation and see what happens!

BTW what NIC do you have in PC?

No wireless connections here.

I do have a crossover cable collecting dust in my closet, though I don't know how to set the 'speed and duplex' to the same at each end. Could you clarify how to this in easy to understand NOOB terms? I would greatly appreciate this!

the reason the ftp stops is because the ip conflicts after a while stopping the transfer or so ive heard

I had a similar problem with FlashFXP, it would just lock up in the middle of a large transfer. Did not seem to matter if it was an upload or a download. Switched to SmartFTP at the recommendation of others on this forum and have not had a problem since. Did not change anything else on my PC or the XBOX.

I had the same problem but it was after I added a D-Link router to my system. I thought it had to do with the roputer. I did not have any firewalls going. So thanks ToKra I give SmartFTP a try.

Every problem I've ever had with FTP transfers had to do with the options set on the FTP client. Make sure you turn off Passive Mode. Before that my connections would just randomly drop. Now I copy over 10-20GB at a time with no problems.

using a 74850C drive in new xbox

So i had an elite xbox with 74850C drive in it, flashed it with ixtreme 1.6. Couple months back my console got banned. I was offered a good deal on another elite so i bought it and opened it up, i found 93450C drive in it. Now i have all the data from my previous drive. My question is is there an easy way to read drive key from my newer drive and possibly flash my older drive with LT and new drive key?

Re: using a 74850C drive in new xbox

Nope, there is no easy way - and LT cannot be spoofed. You will have to flash the new LiteOn drive like usual, just follow the Jungle Flasher tutorial.

If you get the Xecuter LT Clip + LT Switch v2 then all you need to do is cut traces - it's very noob friendly.

Re: using a 74850C drive in new xbox

you still have to do the MRA hack or whatever to get the key from the new drive. if you erase the old lite-on you have a blank drive that can be programmed with any lite-on firmware
