Hey y'all,
Now, I do believe that everybody knows I am no noobie to this FTP stuff anymore, but my current problem is causing me to pull my hair out...
Okay, I just modded my buddy's XBox with the X3 chip. The installation went flawless. The first time I turned it on, the mod enabled okay. I was pretty proud of myself...
Then, I flashed the chip with the X3 1957 bios. No trouble at all. I've used this disk on my XBox, another XBox, and this one. If you're curious why I'm using the 1957 bios, it's because it works just fine, and I update them using the C:/bios/*.bin method. It works wonderfully. I just don't want to bother burning another disk: after all, this one works great.
As I said, the flash went fine. I need to FTP his XBox to back it up (he's going to use Live). Here's where the trouble occurs:
We have two computers and two XBoxes on our home network. My mom's Windows XP is in her room, going through the wireless router. Then, I have my Red Hat Linux 9.0 machine plugged into the router, as well as my two XBoxes (one stock, the other modded.) I removed my XBox from the network and plugged in the one I'm modding right now in it's place. It's sitting topless next to me right now.
The router assigned the XBox I'm trying to FTP 192.168.000.103. I open up gFTP (the magnificant Linux FTP program) and attempt to FTP 192.168.000.103. It connects just fine. I'm in the root directory with C, D, E, X, Y, and Z. I open up C. I see the four folders and three files I need. I go back and try to drag over the entire C drive. Then, it asks me for a password. "Hmmm, strange..." I think. It never does this with my XBox. Regardless, I type in X3. It puts the C drive in the queue, but it just sits there. And sits there. No transfering. A tad frustrated, I open up C again. I try to open up the Audio directory. I double click it, and I see... the same folders as the root of C. I click on Audio again: same result. The address bar on top says, "/C/Audio/Audio." For whatever reason, I cannot get past the root of C! It's VERY VERY frustrating. And, I cannot transfer C over to my HDD on the Linux machine: a window pops up saying, "758 directories transfered" and the number keeps on asending. It just keeps transfering the same directories over and over again, and getting no files!
"Okay." I think to myself, "maybe I found a bug in gFTP... it is possible, even though it works great with my XBox." So, I attempt to FTP my XBox using FlashFXP from the Windows machine in my mom's room. I backed up C just fine. I tried to backup E, but it froze halfway through, like usual. (I hate Windows: it crashes at the drop of a penny.) However, I am not going to use that machine to FTP the files back to an upgraded HDD in the XBox for this reason: it locks up hard every time I try to FTP files to something else. Really. That machine locks up harder then any computer I know. I cannot send files to the XBox with it.
So, here's my questions:
To Linux users -
Do you use gFTP? And if so, why won't it go beyond the root of each drive?
To everybody else -
Any suggestions???!!! I'm about to pull out my hair... one of my computers won't retreive the files, and the other won't send them! I think I'm ready to go try my buddies computer...
