Just noticed this last night as I was updating my current XBMC dash. I usually do so through the FTP server built into the Xenium OS. But, I can't access any of the folders. My FTP client connects with the xbox, but it doesn't show any folders exist. I also tried accessing it through iexplorer, and same as above. It connects, but doesn't show any of my folders.
I can, however, FTP through XBMC. Everything shows up as normal through the dash.
Any clues?

I'm using WS_FTP. Where do I find passive mode? In the Xenium OS settings or XBMC settings?

I can tell you that the problem isnt in the FTP program. I tried both WS_FTP and also ftp'ing through internet explorer and I get the same results.

disable passive mode. this will get the drives to show up under the XeniumOS. i have done this a million times and yes it is the FTP program. just change a simple setting.

I tried as you suggested, and the drives still don't show up. I even tried on my laptop this time.
I appreciate the help. Any other suggestions maybe?
Thx

then dont FTP with XeniumOS if it doesnt work. its not the best FTP server. XBMC is far better.

OK. I always liked knowing I could FTP through the OS if I ever encountered a problem and couldn't boot to a dash. But, in 3 years, I've never had problem yet. So, I just wont worry about it.
Thanks for all the help.

just make sure the FTP server is set-up correctly. passive mode is the only thing i can think of that wouldnt allow the drives to show up.
