Please log in for more thread options via emulation. I need to find a way to establish an ftp connection between these two. I can normally ftp files back and forth, but it doesn't work when I load 98 onto the xbox. Someone please tell me how to set up an ftp server on one of these machines, so that I can transfer files back and forth. Dos-Man | |||||||||||||

I have no way to get it (or any other file) over there until I establish some type of connection between these two. 98 on an xbox is running in a vacuum. Note that neither machine is hooked up to the internet, although the PC is using the ip address 192.168.0.5 and the xbox is set up to use 192.168.0.3. dos-man | |||||||||||||

That would be enough to establish a connection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FTP_server_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_FTP_server_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_FTP_client_software An example of a client, is when you type ftp://ftp.somehost.com in a web browser. Or, if you are using local addresses that aren't in DNS, it would be like ftp://192.168.0.3 where 192.168.0.3 would be the machine running the server program. When running a server program, they all have some kind of security features. Perhaps one many years ago, when started, would have given access to the entire local disk. But as they become more sophisticated, they begin to restrict the folders that are visible to the FTP client, or even tie into the security/permissions system of the host computer OS. That can sometimes complicate the choice of a server program, depending on the OS you are using. Anyway, that should be enough to get you started. With an OS like Win98, and the FAT32 file system, the largest single file might be 4GB, so if you are transferring files larger than that, you'll need to work around that limit. Paul | |||||||||||||
