why doesn't my FTP work anymore?

[professor_jonny]

Every time I try to activate the FTP server (in network settings > services > Activate FTP Server) my xbox turns off. Just like that. I click in the option Activate FTP server and boom... it turns off.

this sounds like file system corruption or missing files in the xbmc4xbox folder

Hey professor_jonny, thanks for the reply.
Any suggestion in how to fix that? Maybe re-install the Xbmc again?

I think if you could ftp across xbmc into another folder then run it from the file manager and ftp a new build over the top of your old one.

you could try error recovery mode to use ftp:

Error Recovery Mode
If XBMC is starting up (for instance you see the splash screen) but then is not progressing to load correctly after that, you can boot into "Error Recovery Mode" by holding down the White and Y buttons during startup.

This will give you FTP access to the Xbox via it's Fatal Error Handler. You can then retrieve any debug logs from a previous boot (which will be q:\xbmc.old.log) and/or correct things by reloading XBMC4XBox onto your Xbox. Note that not all your drives may appear via FTP while the fatal error handler is running (particular F: and G:), but this should not affect things, as the most important place to have access to is XBMC4XBox's home directory, which is always mounted at Q: (regardless of where it is located on your Xbox's harddisk).

You may also try to reset all of XBMC4XBox's settings to their defaults, in case the reason that it's no longer loading correctly is due to some bad settings. You may do this by holding down both thumbstick buttons on bootup.
