XBMC4Xbox

Hello, i've been trying to upload a .bin file, but the ftp transfer with filezilla keeps on stopping at the 514 megabytes mark even though the file itself is 730 megabytes.
I have no idea what to do.
The console is directly connected to the computer using an ethernet cable so there are no routers or switches between them.
Could someone help me please?

Thank you so much

Rather than FTPing it to the Xbox as a .bin file have you tried ZIPping (or RARing) not 7ZIPping it and FTPing that to it instead? I've found that this can help when I've suspected firewall or anti-virus settings issues or something else unknown have been interfered with the transfer.

Obviously you have to be sure the file is OK.

Depending on your main dash you can unpack it on the Xbox itself. This can be done with both XBMC's file manager and UnleashX. I suggest you FTP it to a new temporary folder rather than directly into place.

i'll try it this thank you. the file is a 7zip.

Being 7Zip you'll need to unpack it first on PC then repack it as an ordinary Zip or RAR if you have WinRAR.

As indicated the Xbox dashes mentioned can only unpack ordinary Zips and RARs.

Hope it work for you.

unfortunately it doesn't work, the transfer ends even sooner than previously.

Pity.

If you've not had this before with Xbox FTPing I'm thinking, as said earlier, that it is possibly a firewall or anti-virus settings issue. But how you resolve it I cant advise. Some AVs can be funny about .bin files.

You could try using a different FTP client other than FileZilla. My go to is CoreFTP LE older and slower in general. Although I think there is a newer Beta version the v2.2 64bit 1960 Build you'll easily find. It is what I've used if FileZilla doesn't play ball when FTPing to the Xbox and, sometimes, works when FileZilla doesn't.

But don't get your hopes up. If it is an AV or firewall issue and CoreFTP fails in the same way too that could be additional evidence.

BTW what is the .bin file you're trying to transfer? An eeprom or something like that?
