Trouble sending files with commas, colons & other characters
I use Filezilla and i've noticed that i get a lot of failed transfers with titles with commas or other characters in. Is this Filezilla's fault or is it something else?

Colon (:) is not valid in Xbox/Windows filenames (used for drive: notations), change that into a minus (-).

Re: Trouble sending files with commas, colons & other charac
The weird thing is, i can transfer this file to my other xbox just fine without renaming or shortening the title, but on this xbox it's very fussy about the length of the title or any special characters such as ' or , even.
Why is it i can transfer it to one xbox but not the other?

I think it's a bios problem. This xbox i'm having problems with is a V1.6 softmodded xbox, and the other xbox that has no problems accepting longer file names etc is Tsop flashed with IND bios.
That's the only reason i can think of. Both running the latest version of XBMC4XOX, FTP'ing from same computer using same version of filezilla.

Look in your XBMC settings and you will find a setting in Network/ Services/ Auto FATX Limiting........and turn it ON.Lethagized wrote:The weird thing is, i can transfer this file to my other xbox just fine without renaming or shortening the title, but on this xbox it's very fussy about the length of the title or any special characters such as ' or , even.
