Re: could i use something else?
Well, you could always connect with a shared folder on your network or stream using an addon. But I am guessing you are being specific to adding movies to your XBOX. I know there is a USB dongle mod. Once configured, I imagine you may be able to add movies using that method, but I have not tried it.mediabox wrote:is there any other way, then ftp to put movies on a box?

USB sticks are limited to 4GB, and many (as time goes on I suspect increasingly the majority) don't work even if they are under 4GB.
FTP, SMB or streaming from the Internet are the only scalable solutions.

i think i may use this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EM7MYX ... 756&sr=8-1 can i use that and hook a usb hard drive up to it, then hook the xbox up with a network cable? and i can i use it without hooking a computer to it?

You may need to connect both the NAS and your Xbox to a switch, or you might get away with a crossover cable and static IP addresses, but it will work without a PC once you have configure the NAS server.
Re: could i use something else?
it seems to me ftp is the best and easy way to go so i think i'll do that. by the way, could i put two 2tb hard drives in a xbox?
Re: could i use something else?
Out of curiosity, what is your current set-up like? Are you using XP or Windows 7 on a main computer? Do you already have a wireless or non-wireless router? Is your XBOX already on your network?

I have used a ftp app on my android phone to move files over to my xbox. I know it's still ftp but it's a phone not a computer

USB can be flaky and slow but it works, our puppy chewed thru my 15m lan cable so i have been using a 4gig USB to transfer files till i get a chance to properly hardwire it.

I do a controller port to USB on all my modded consoles as it makes it easy to copy files to consoles that i give family members that dont have a network or way to FTP.mediabox wrote:and i have no network up. i just want xbmc to store movies i rip on it. im sure i can master ftp, i just wanted to see if i could store with a dvd r or something else? im still new to xbmc. would be more easy with android, but xbmc is too bugy on android. i dont have alot of money so the xbox is what i want. i been wanting to get one for a bit. i am going buy one from a guy on ioffer.

No that's for using Xbox controllers on a PC
I used one of these

Not as good looking as a case mod but it does the job
