Configuring XBFileZilla FTP Server

First you must enable the FTP server in Network Settings|Settings --> Network --> Servers.

Manual Configuration

You can manually configure the server setting through the FileZilla Server.xml file located in the XBMC/System directory.

Configuring XBFileZilla through the FileZilla Server Interface Program

The FileZilla Server Interface can easily handle and manage the XBMC FTP Server. You can get it from the FileZilla Homepage
For the Current CVS, you need the Filezilla Server Interface 8.8!

1.Open the FileZilla Server Interface

2.On Connect to Server Enter:

  • XBOX IP Adress: Example: 192.168.0.105
  • The Admin Port: Default is: 14147
  • The Admin Password: Default is: xbmpzilla

3.You are connected. You can:

  • Add, Remove, or Manage the User
  • Add, Remove or Manage Goups
  • Change the Server Settings

Enabling FXP Transfer

1.Passive Mode Settings:

  • External Server IP Adress for passive mode transfers: Default
  • Use Custom Portrange: 1024 – 65535: must be enabled

2.Security Settings:

  • Block Incoming and Outgoing Server to Server transfers: both must be disabled

Thats all! Only one thing is: Use custom PASV settings if you are operating the server from behind a NAT router or a firewall. In that case, the IP address of the server is not accessible from outside of the router, so you should fill in the correct address here. Use the port range to limit the number of ports that will need to be forwarded through the router.
