Hi Benn,
I'm a total noob at FTP'ing, so could you do me a favor and describe from A-Z what i have to do when i wanna setup FTP in xbmc.
I've come this far (looking at the "add network location" in xbmc) i see:
Server adresss
Remote path
Port
Username
Password
Now the server adress would that be the ip of my ATV2 or the server ip adresss thats on the server status screen on pureftpd manager?
Remote path is that only the path that i've set in the home directory in pureftpd manager? in my case its "/volumes/drobo/movies
Username, is that the login or my user id?
Thank you in advance.
Others may answer as well :-)

Can an admin change the name of the thread to "10.7 Lion & XBMC: HowTo share with PureFTPd Manager" or something like that ?
Thanks.

Thank you! It works! Unfortunately I get quite a bit of buttering with file sizes over a gig. Any idea why? I didn't with smb under snow leopard.

Does ftp shares support files view in library mode? The videos and subtitles works fine, but i still see the files as they look on my mac. With no posters, plot or whatever;

Salut Ben,
Merci for all your aide. I am going to upgrade to Lion and saw this thread. I am running the latest XBMC on my ATV1. I connect to ATV from my Intel iMac using Transmit FTP.
Will I have any problems uploading videos via FTP with Lion ?
