HOW-TO:Use FTP to access your Xbox over a network

What program should I use?

FileZilla is a good free FTP client. Most FTP clients should work though, but it is a good idea to limit them to processing a single connection at a time.

General Setup

In order to connect to your Xbox via FTP, you will need a home network setup or your Xbox connected to a NIC on your computer with a cross-over cable. Once your Xbox has a network connection, and can receive the weather and RSS feeds, your Xbox is connected to the Internet. If you are having troubles with Network connection, refer to the Networking Section of the Using XBMC FAQ.
