Hi all

Ive installed XBMC live on HDD
Everything works great with the set up am also using ccXstream to share folders from windows 7

So i started up Filezilla to add a new skin etc..
and alll i get is this

Code:

Status:    Connecting to 192.168.1.103:21...
Status:    Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error:    Could not connect to server
Status:    Waiting to retry...

Anyone any idea why am getting this Failed attempt?
Thanks
Mike

Did you use SFTP as servertype or FTP

to get ftp acces to xbmc live you should use SFTP

I'm trying to maximise the transfer speed between my windows PC and ubuntu/xbmc Live install on my AsRock, however I'm maxing out @ 8mb/s.

As such, I'd like to get FTP working (not SFTP) within my local network.
Being SFTP, i'm assuming its encrypting / decrypting all the data I'm sending between my machines and hence slowing it down.

I haven't been able to find any instructions on how to allow WinSCP (for example) to connect without encrpytion. (SFTP works fine).

Suggestions? Would pure FTP speed things up? (give me > 8mb/sec)?

I think so.
I just upgraded to 9.11 and my earlier 9.04 version i ftp'd with speeds of 20Mb/s or higher but now with 9.11 and sftp i get 1Mb/s, so quite a difference.

I am not good at linux so instructions how to get high network transfer speeds in an easy way is appreciated.

use vsftpd
"apt-get install vsftpd"
should be able to FTP into your xbmc box with default user name and password or root.
(to access command line press ctrl+alt+f3 (also works with f1-f6))
