Guide: How to use FlashFXP to FTP to your Dreambox

[thommo]

right ive seen too many people thinking that they need to add a new image, nothing is further from the truth, you only need to add the new fix file to your old image.

now im presuming that some people might find the idea of flash fxp (ftp) a bit daunting if they have not used it before so heres a little help.

this is based on my set up of pc/router/dreambox . pc goes to router,dreambox goes to router (note the ethernet lead port on the back of your dreambox.)


right to start we need to fire up flash fxp, it will look like this once you start it.



once its opened you will see on the right hand box a sybol that looks like a thunder strike, click on that then quick connect and you will see a box like this.



right at this part you need your ip addy of your dream box, to find this go into the menu on your dreambox, scroll to setup then scroll down to expert setup,then communication setup, theres your dream box ip, write it down and go back to your flash fxp.

enter your ip into the server or url box.
under user name enter root
under password enter dreambox
click connect.

presto a list of files from your dreambox should appear in that right hand box that looks like the pic below, you are connect to your dream, good job!!.



now we need to navigate to var, look down that list of files in the right hand box till you see var, click on it, now you should see a list of new files, look down that list and you will see keys, click on that, again a new list of files will appear like this.



the files on the left hand side are the files on your PC, the files on the right are the files on your dreambox. Using the left mouse button, click and hold on the file you want to transfer then drag it over to the right side. Remember to navigate to the folder you want the file to go in to first. The file will then be transferred.




once this is done shut down the fxp software and reboot your box and or emu.

congrats you,ve just fixed your box and not spent a penny doing it.
