What is FTP?

[Floyd85]

Hey im reading up on everything i can before my X3 comes in the mail.
The only thing that im still trying to figure out is the FTP.

What the heck is FTP and how can i set it up and use it with my xbox.
I think FTP stood for file transer protocol...is that right?

Any info on FTP would be great.

Oh BTW im new here on Xecuter forums so hi everyone!

The answer is Google. Please do some research.

Yes, FTP stands for file trasfer protocol. You use it to get "inside" your xbox and manage your files and whatnot from your computer. Basicly, your xbox will have an IP that you punch into the FTP client. Then, since you have a X3, your username and pass will be "x3" by default. Type all that in and hit connect, and you are ready to start putting applications, games, what ever you want on there with the ease of sitting at your desktop. Hope this helped.

file transfer protocol is correct.
it is used to transfer files to and from the xbox to your pc.
get a copy of flashfxp (which is a ftp client) and set it up to transfer files to your xbox.

btw.... the flashfxp is a pc program.


Edit:
You beat me to it threeballspin

I am suprised sometimes at how people don't know about stuff so simple... Maby I am just an extreme geek, but I have been using computers since I was 4, and modding/programming since 10.

well i knew what is was just not how to use it...do i just use that FTP program on my computer to "view" into my xbox or do i need to do anything other than turn my xbox on?

Nope, all you do is hook your xbox up. Type all the ftp info into the client. And hit connect. That's it.

cool. might seem like a stupid question, but how would i hook my xbox to my comp?
im guessing a crossover cat5?

 

[threeballspin]

Crossover will work. Or if you want to go through a switch/hub/router, that works also. Just make sure you have everything setup in your network settings correctly.
