Not really sure what you're trying to do.

Tuxbox Commander is a plugin on your dreambox image, it has nothing to do with your PC.

On the DW v2 image, press the yellow button and you should see the plugins.

Dreamup is only used for flashing and backing up images, not for general file transfers.

Hi its all new to me have been reading treads but still a little confused on what / how to do it
my dreambox is not running on dw2.0 so i cant find tuxbox in the plugins file so i am trying to flash / install the dw2.0 image has is got the tuxbox file in this new image already :withstupid:

Yes, should have.
Did you press the yellow button on your remote control.

You should see the Tuxbox Commander option when you do that.

Then you will know if your image has that plugin.

What you using to flash an image, ? What programmed?
and are you connected to your dreambox via a Network ?

think the image may be an old 1 as cant find tuxbox in plugins . so want to flash newer image ( dw2.0 ) so i can do key changes .what cable is best to use . .thanks

I use a crossover cable, and use Flash wizard Pro to flash the box

Or if you have a null modem cable, use Dreamup to flash it.

In my experience, FWP will freeze on you at some point or hang at 95% during flashing. Your only option at this point is to flash it with dreamup and a null modem cable. Anyone who is going to be playing about with a dreambox should buy a null modem cable, it's invaluable! And only ?3 on ebay.
