Is there a way to connect youré xbox hard drive whitout a ftp program? For example using youré Local Area Network on youré pc.

to connect ur xbox to what then?

[Gideon]

Know i use a ftp program to connect my pc whit my xbox to transfer files. But is it possible to share my xbox over my home network. for example when i wan't to transfer files to a second pc in my house i don't use a ftp program. I only click on my desktop on the icon "network locations".

[AXmichigan]

You can map an ftp server in windows explorer. I did it a while ago, but never use it. You have to set your xbox to a static IP in order to do it though, unless you want to change the network location settings everytime you want to connect.

edit:
Right click on "My Network", then click "map new network drive". In the popup, shoose "sign up for online storage..etc" that is underlined. Then hit next, select "choose another network location". Type in the ftp address and follow the rest of the wizard.

JUST FTP IT~!

yah, i have it mapped, but never use it. Besides, I guess if won't show up in the network connections, other the the PC you added it to.

XBMC may have something like it, but I doubt it.

[speedballnoto]

heck yeah you can...
I havent used a FTP proggie
since I upgraded my HDD
you can just use internet explorer
just type this in
ftp://xbox:xbox@192.168.100.10/
but use your own user/pass and IP addy
In windows XP i just went to
the add a network place wizard thing
and now when i click on network
places it pops right up...

I'm guessing the true nature of Gideons question is more about using a protocol like TCP/IP instead of FTP?

Yes speed, Windows has integrated support of FTP. That's probably the easiest, but some of the 3rd party programs have better features.

ONCE AGAIN, JUST FTP IT

I guess I gotta go with AX. I dont know what he's askin for? Maybe how to make a shortcut for it?

[AXmichigan]
