Great tutorial but I am having the same error as many others. I am able to see the contents of dreambox with my browser (Chrome) but am unable to connect using any FTP client.

Seems like the password is not standard

Msg from Filezilla:

Both my PC and Dreambox connect to router. Anyone knows how else (ID/password) to connect?

Dear bros, been reading the guides. Very helpful indeed. However, I realize that all the instruction are for PC user. What about mac user? Is the software flashfxp the same? Or is there one for mac somewhere?

All,
I am facing an issue, I was doing an update on my box and guess doing it wrong. So my box was not reacting at all.
I had to reinstall a new image plus bouquet for Sgp.
Issue now is that I do not have the required SCCE and keys for it.
I see all the channels in the list, but all locked.
Any advise where I can download it?
