Win XP PRO - Has a built in ftp program!!

[bapu]

Guys.. I've posted this on another thread, but I think it need a dedicated one.

************************************************** ********

If your using Win XP Pro, then you don't really need a 3rd party FTP program.

Open up windows explorer (not Internet explorer), the one that shows your drive letters.

type in there the Dbox IP address
eg: ftp://192.168.0.5
press enter

you should get a login box - enter the username/password
root
dbox2

From here you can go to the Keys folder and copy/delete whatever you like!!
If it don't work then:
1. make sure you can ping the dbox
2. check what version of XP your using (I'm not sure about home edition or Vista)

Hope this helps:

hi bapu

i tried that no joy how do you ping the box (forgive my naeivity) haha

[bapu]

open the command prompt... --> start, run, type in 'cmd'

dos box will open up...in there type the ip address of your Dbox
eg: ping 192.168.0.5

If you get a reply...then your connected, if not hen you need to sort the network issue

you first need to make a note of the box's ip address

Hi, write down the address.
on your pc, click START, THEN RUN, TYPE CMD, this will bring up the DOS prompt. type ping then the IP address, hit return.
if there is no communication, check the xover cable and check that the ip address is correct.

hope that helps
