FTPDll Dash Launch Plugin Posted by XanTium | October 9 19:19 EST | News Category: Xbox360

cOz released a new FTP plugin for Dash Launch build for XDK-homebrew 360s: [QUOTE] add as a plugin to dash launch connect to your normal xbox IP on port 7564 it check for device change events every 1s or so, removed devices will still appear in the ftp list, new devices will be added. if it doesn't seem like a good idea, don't do it (like write to flash) it's not the greatest ftp, you don't get great speed uploading to the xbox but you can do it (slowly) while you play a game. based on the xexmenu ftp (slimftpd) with some bugfixes and extra devices added. [/QUOTE] Official Site: n/a, by cOz Download: n/a (built with XDK) Full Readme/NFO: xbins.org

Something to note, swap.xex and this have the same load address so it's one or the other, only the first one in the dash launch init will load.

Hm, that sux... What about FSD disk swapping plugin?

After this plugin works nicely, it should be added to dash lunch.

what speeds could you get with this?
is it in the MB/s range or slower?

I dont know about the fsd2 multi disk ive never got it to work!
Games are listed as usb:/games/deadspace d1 and usb:/games/deadspace d2
Ive removed swap.xex even done a clean install of dashlauch and fsd2 but it just wont swap

Anyway ive gone back to swap.xex when im not using it i rename it with fsd2 to swapoff.xex then the ftp plugin will work..

ive got fullspeed when original MS dash is shown (or some small arcade games are running)
got about half speed (6mb/s) on playing gears 3
and about 500kb/s when a game is loading (e.g. gears 3)

=> absolutely perfect for me

Someone please clarify: that means the 'glitch consoles' already can do the same as 'old JTAG consoles' such as install and play all games without disc and also install DLC's ??

i got fsd2 multi disk working i think it was due to also using tempdump.xex plugin
so basicaly out of all the plugins swap.xex tempdump.xex and now ftpdll.xex we cant use more then 1 at a time

maybe it would be a better idea to not load all plugins and instead have the option in fsd2 to select what plugin you want for each game like press y on a 2 disk game and select multi disk plugin or if you want to get a temp report in gow3 select tempdump.xex

or in dashlaunch have a button combo on boot to select what you want as it looks like all these plugins screw each other up

No, not yet. There has been no patched dash released for the 'glitch consoles'. All they can do as of yet is run homebrew (XeLL, emulators, homebrew games).

Now I have to remember which FTP client I used with XexMenu, since my two favorites don't play nice with this plugin.

flashFXP works fine here

I've found that WinSCP works well. It's already installed on all my machines for SCP purposes, but it supports ftp so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Edit: I should note that FileZilla and BulletProof FTP are the ones that didn't work for me.

Filezilla worked fine for me, copied the settings from my normal ftp and just changed the port.

what is tempdump.xex ?
i'd never heard about that plugin.

Well thats pretty much what the freestyle dash plugins feature was all about, shame they didnt actually release it, loved having the frequent updates, a while back shame some of the features never got released before they started remaking it from the ground up...again, i know ill probs get a bit of "well if you want it you make it and the usual bashing of anyone who questions these matters" and yeah the guys who make FSD are doing amazing work and what we got is alot better than any aternatives but it does seem to be a bit too much "this is what we are doing its almost ready heres a beta with some stuff missing"
............................................................oh actually we arnt doing that now we doing this instead,

anyways hopefully the RXE (latest incarnation of FSD) will have the stuff that wasnt realeased i.e plugins etc, rather than just the new game layout.

and once again before all the "high and mighty" guys pop up, this is persona feelings the FSD team have done an amazing job with the current FSD and yeah all are all not worthy of their amazing talent

Can't get it to work :/

This is how my launch.ini looks:



[Plugins]
plugin1 = Hdd:\swap.xex
plugin2 = Hdd:\ftpdll.xex


And they are both in the root of my hdd.
The swap worked when I played Dead Space, so no problems there.

But are you guys saying I need to rewrite between ftpdll.xex and swap.xex in the launch.ini each time I want to use either, because there's only support for one plugin at the time? :/

only one of these plugins work at a tame - so its your chioce

It's working awesome for me, at full speed using flashfxp. I don't know why they said it's slow?

Okay well you can use the ftp plugin and the temprature logging plugin at the same time, or disk swap and temp logging but NOT swap and ftp at the same time, i think i read somwhere that FSD has some form of diskswap built in but im not sure i havnt looked into this/ used it so im not sure but if thats the case maybe people could just use ftp and temp and use FSD's diskswap methods, idk its no biggy anyway just choose what is most important too you disk swapping plugin or FTP during gameplay

Nevermind, it runs at like 3.5MB/sec instead of 11MB/sec. Why is this? Hopefully they'll work out the bugs and get it working like FSD ftp, this is an awesome plugin.

i think its actually due to the usage of the hard drive loading stuff while your also writing to it, so disk write speeds are lower depending on where you are running the game from, also if the game you are playing is using alot of the 360's power it leaves little left over for dealing with the ftp connection, it would be good for sending saves over without exiting the game, especially for people trying to modify saves and stuff, would make testing alot faster i would imagine

Wow great plugin!! Thanks cOz!!

Wouldn't it be possible to change either swaps or ftpdlls loading address, so both could work at the same time? Having to choose one of them sucks big time. Both of them are great and both of them are very comfy.

Thanks again cOz!

\o/ thanks for releasing! This is working great, with filezilla, and just as fast as any other ftp while the system is idle. Being able to keep transfers going and use the console at the same time is pure win. The FSD plugin works fine for swapping while this is running via dashlaunch.

I couldn't get this plugin to load for the life of me. I've tried adding plugin1 = Hdd:\Appz\dash_launch_v2.24\ftpdll_0.1\ftpdll.xex also Hdd1 then I tried putting ftpdll.exe in the root of Hdd1 and making the change in the launch.ini, I've tried different ftp apps, I've tried rerunning the installer after, nothing seems to work, always gets timed out on port 7564. Would love to be able to ftp while playing but this damn thing is killing me.
