ATV2: How to install a skin from ZIP file ?
#1
I want to try install AEON skin on my ATV2... So far i have only installed skins from the XBMC menu, but for Aeon skin i have to install from a ZIP file.... So i guess i will have to put the ZIP file right on the ATV2 disk... How can i do it ? I heard that XBMC supports FTP... How can i set up FTP on XBMC for ATV2 ? It would probably be the easiest way for me if i can manage the ATV2 files through FTP

According to official manual i have to activate FTP in my network options... However there is no option related to FTP in the network options of XBMC

i'm confused!

Use Filezilla or Cyberduck and make a SFTP (not FTP) connection to the IP of your ATV2. User:mobile, password:alpine

Navigate to:
var/mobile/

and drag the add-on/skin zip file there.

In XBMC on the ATV2, install from zip and select "Home folder" and you will see the zip file you just transfered.
