Connecting to other pc's via Wireless router using ftp client

Hey, im a newbie at networking.  I understand that my wireless router assigns ip addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 and .102 and so on and so on.  How can I connect to for example my xbox's hard drive if I have the xbox hooked up to the router?  The Xbox had it's own ip assigned to it but using cute ftp, how can I connect to it to view the hard drives contents?  Does that make any sense? Ive configured my router to let access for the xbox's hard drive on the ip it was assigned to, is there anything else I have to do?  What am I doing wrong?

You can... but someone has to be listening on the other end, in the same "language" (ftp, http, NetBIOS, etc.)
