As a lot of people, I would like to switch to Lion, but I can not because of the smb problem between Lion and XBMC.
I read a lot of articles about samba 2.0, how to install 3.0, the use of NFS, UPNP, etc ... but not a lot about FTP.
On Snow Leopard, I use PureFTPd Manager as FTP server. Since there is no ftp server in Lion, I just try it (on a "test Lion" on an usb drive). First the SL version works perfectly on Lion.
Then I quickly manage to make it works with XBMC. I can now access to my complete movie library on XBMC via FTP.
So is there any "side effect" I have not see yet ?
Can FTP and PureFTPd be a sustainable solution ?
Thanks,
