Crossover cable is used for direct connection for your dreambox to PC. You will only need this if you dont have a router. If you do have a router you can hook it up with a RJ45 Ethernet cable.

Null Modem can only be used to Flash the box etc.

If you want to change files within the box using FTP then you need to go through your router or direct connect with crossover.

Plenty of tutorials on here how to do it. Have a browse

RJ45 and crossover similar looking
