Trying To Ftp To Xbox, No Connection Options

[Mr. D]

I've been trying to ftp to my original xbox but a connection is either;

1. not being made
2. being made and then lost or refused

I've read guides here and all over the place with no luck.

Xbox is softmodded with unleashx dashboard, PC is running XP service pack 3.

I've tried cuteftp, smartftp, coreftp lite, flashfxp, and filezilla.

As for physical setup, I only have one ethernet port on my computer, so I've tried unplugging the cable from there and into my xbox, but when I try to ftp that way, my computer says there's no route to the host. My brother used to ftp all the time to my xbox and his, and he said all I had to do for physical setup was unplug the ethernet cable from the computer and into the xbox, unless I just misunderstood him. But as I said, this doesn't work.

Do I just need to go buy a crossover cable, or can you guys help me out here?
