Need Help solving XBox FTP networking issue

I already read this from the forum( http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/213943) before and it is not working as well. I have disable the firewall, antivirus, etc. I change the ethernet connection to full duplex but does not help. While transferring files from xbox to pc, not much problem encountered as most files went through and even though if it failed on some files, it did not freeze up my xbox. However when transferring files from xbox to pc, it happens to freeze when transferring halfway and I could not do anything else except to reboot the xbox.

Just a qs regarding the setup of large xbox hdd on the xbox, is it a problem if let say I have a 1 tb hdd using ide/sata controller might have issues with power failure when transferring halfway. Also, because a seller who sold me the xboxwhich I bought  has setup the xbox with 3 main partitions which is the C drive(300+ mb) for main xbox boot dash files, E drive(4gb approx) for xbmc and F drive for storage (900gb); will it cause a  problem with read/write issues while ftping,etc as I believe I read somewhere in forums that for large hdd, they need to be partition using 32kb clusters with one partition a maximum of 137gb on the E or F drive and the rest can be on G drive or something like that otherwise it might cause issues with glitches,etc. Could someone confirm if thisstatement is true or not and may contribute to some of the issues I had with the networking side of it or is it just only a basic ftp networking issue and nothing that serious.

Please help. Thanks again.

The file system for the XBOX was never designed to handle file partitions of that size. Basically because at the time of XBOX 1, there were not any consumer TB drives available. Usually in a case like this you would split your F drive into a F and G drive. Also another reason for splitting the drives is for performance issues.

Also what method are you trying to transfer files? Active or Passive? and are you doing FXP or direct file transfer? These issues do matter with the performance of the XBOX and transferring files. Lastly just for humor sake, set your Default Gateway on your PC.

My Setup with my XBOX 1's are I transfer everything from my XBOX to my 2TB NAS drive. I used to do direct to the PC, but it just became easier this way. Only time I connect PC <-> XBOX is when I update my version of XBMC. Plus I have everything going through a switch and using DHCP for simpler routing.

Hi, I used active for file transferring from pc to xbox but I tried using passive mode as well (done using the setting configuration in either flashxp or filezilla)but no difference in solving the issue. On the note which you mention direct file transfer is it taking out the hdd and putting it in a pc or using windows explorer file browser to navigate to the folder for transferring files (ftp)?

I did try to set the default gateway for the pc as well before but it does not work, I only know that the d.gateway is important to be set correctly on the xbox which should reflect the d.gateway to the pc ip address for ftp transfers.

I don't have the facilities of a switch and I have a router but my router and my xbox to link with my pc is very far apart. Therefore I use wireless connection but for the ftp transfer in this case, I have to use the crossover cable for transferring files from pc to xbox.

In regards to your statement that you mention for performance reason, you would setup it to g drive as well so I guess this may explain a partial reason why the xbox may fail in receiving transferred files.

Btw, if the xbox is already formatted to have F drive to use up 900 gb and there is some data already allocated there, is it still possible to create a G drive and swap the files across to the partition. Let me know if there is a program to do so without losing any data on the F drive while doing so and I will try the ftp again if not working.

Lastly, is it possible say if I takeout the hdd from the xbox and stick it in a caddy and just transfer the files across from computer to xbox drive thereby eliminating the need for me to use ftp. Can this be done or I need a software to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice, looks like ftp is the only way then :(

Let me know if you can assist with partitioning like for 1 gb, what's your advice on splitting the drive to multiple drive letter and what file size/clusters,etc cause I may need to repartition the drive again from scratch if further test done still not working

Thanks
