Thanks so much! I found my old soft modded Xbox in the loft and it's still AMAZING! I couldn’t remember how to do this so came here. My uni friends and I played this a lot. Halo Lan parties, SNES emulators. Was amazing. It was a console way, way ahead of its time with the soft mod.
Yup. Essentially if your network card supports gigabit ethernet (which almost all have since 2017 or so) you're good to go with a regular ethernet cable. Makes things a lot easier.
Thank you so much!!! I haven't upgraded my UnleashX for years and I was pulling my hair out trying to connect to my XBox to Windows 10. It turns out I had to adjust my Ethernet IPv4 settings per your instructions. This video saved me a ton of time and headaches. Cheers!
I saw a lot of videos in spanish and none of them worked for me but your video was the solution. You re Incredible, Thanks a lot for your video. Greetings from Colombia
*Word of caution for those wanting to do this:* Once connected to your router, your Xbox’s IP address may not be assigned until you reboot it. That’s how it went for me.
Hey man! Just wanted to say thanks! I pulled my old Xecuter3 modded Xbox out and put it in my sun room. Forgotten about all the other steps, besides making the crossover cable. Your video was awesome. Again, much appreciated!
sweet i had to do some troubleshooting to get the connection established but once i did, worked like a charm. the bfbb speedrunning community thanks you.
I have all these steps down up until the point you're clicking quick connect ( for the crossover method ) and yet it's failing to connect to the xbox. I have the correct IP the correct username and password and port. What could be the issue? I have two different crossover cables i've been switching between with 0 success. Any help would be appreciated.
this is old, but the reason is you probably werent in your xbox's SOFTMOD MENU. thats where you need to be for some softmod installers, as it uses a generic fake IP for the main softmod dashboard, and can only initiate FTP in the softmod configuration menu, where it will give you the REAL IP.
Fantastic. I had static on 192.168.1.1 on my old isp, but my new isp has allocated to another subnet so I couldn't connect. Your dhcp thing saved me. Great video!
thank you so much for this! I have to use a usb wifi adapter for pc internet access and our router isn't near a monitor to plug up the ethernet to Xbox and get the ip address, so the crossover method waa only viable option. so excited it worked as I didn't even realize my ethernet cable was a crossover.
I just used an ethernet and then in network settings right click wifi connection, properties, sharing and tick both boxes. It probably isnt as efficient as using a cross over cable but it works XD
intel network cards auto sense when you are trying to connect TWO PCs & it electrically switchs a CAT to x-over a x-over cable is basically a dummy cable that sets things up a little bit easier & tells windows off the wip what your trying to do (connect two systems) or dazy chain them without router/switch
Do NOT use a crossover cable if the device you're connecting the XBOX to is a modern device with a gigabit NIC (and many newer non-gigabit capable devices that support auto-MDIX). Gigabit NIC's will automatically adjust the transmission protocol as they sense the connection scheme they're using.
Yo Man Can You Help? My FTP Server says: Connection established, wait for welcome message Status: Unsafe server; It does not support FTP over TLS. Status: The server does not support non-ASCII characters. Status: Registered Status: Receive directory content ...
Mine said the same thing. I fixed it by going back to the xbox, selected system, miscellaneous, then start FTP and everything came together for me. I hope you have the same luck.
I've done this several times but it's never consistent. It's either hit or miss with this method. I've tried rebooting my Xbox and exiting out of Filezilla to restart it but it sometimes work and sometimes don't. I don't know if anyone else has this issue. Has to be a better way. It never consistently work. I get disconnections and error messages and then it may work for a game or two.
There's a lot of failed transfers, about 80 failed transfers and 900 successful transfers, and when I try to launch the game, it's a black screen. Any help?
Sometimes FTP can be very temperamental, I have had issues now and again with certain games. It seems to be games that have many files and sub folders that cause the issue.
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!! Both the ethernet cables from the xbox and computer need to be plugged into the same router. IF you have the computer in the modem and the xbox in the router it will not work!!
Great vid. Ive done this process successfully a number of times back in like 2005 to 2009 but it was always confusing for me. I think I did filezilla and flash xp as well.
PLEASE HELP 😩 Im connecting to the xbox just fine. Files are getting to the xbox just fine. But when i go to the xbox and click on the emulators that i transferred and click on "Select a Game" there are no games listed. Im so frustrated
Is there a way to connect the xbox to a pc so you can use the xbox controllers on pc? I doubt it will work with the internet cable but perhaps there's another way?
You could probably rewire it yourself to an old usb cable if you have one lying about and dont mind ruining a xbox controller. I'm sure there will be a guide somewhere :). If not check for adapters on ebay
@@ArrayJ Alright, thanks for the quick answer! I've already converted a old controller which was missing a few buttons but it overall seemed to work. And I've seen some adapters as well but with shipping to Sweden the prices are not worth it. I just wanted to make sure that there was no other way of doing things without wasting a controller since I actually play on the old xbox sometimes. I suppose I could just use a emulator on my pc anyways. Thanks for the help. Although the video wasn't something I really needed I'm sure it's well made and helped others :)
Mine is really weird. FTP wont work on UnleashX and use to work on EvoX but now when im on EvoX it wont connect to the internet and UnleashX shows an Ip but wont connect to FTP
Hi was a bit worried at first but managed to link with my Xbox thank god for the pause button lol you made easy thanks ..now to try to copy some game files and see if they work ….thanks great video ..
Nice video thanks for the info, lastly can you teach me how I can use the last set up you did on a MacBook!?. It says something about that server being used!.
Amazing video. Thanks, Can you use the ftp method for downloading emulators(say for playstation) in this method too? or is it different? also can you advise any decent dreamcast emulators please. Thanks!!
Set the xbox to DHCP instead of Static and restart. The xbox is telling you it cant connect to the router to get an IP. I set mine to have both the IP static and port forwarded in my router settings as well.
do you have to use unleashx when transferring files...what about using a diff dash like XBMC?? I imagine the transfer speeds will be the same, correct?
hello tried what you sed....no luck :( Im running x3 build 3294. it dose not have the users option and I cant find the port number. it says connecting to 192.168.0.1742 connection established 220 x3-ftp server ready AUTH TLS and then it times out without showing the remote files?
I have an issue. I bought a modded xbox but I can't access the accessories menu in unleashx menu because it asks for a passcode which I'm thinking the previous owner put in. Any way I can remove the code without resetting or removing the mod?
My Xbox didnt offer DHCP as an option, but I've read that when you set Static to "No", or disable it, that happens to be DHCP. Also mine had some DNS addresses set up, I had to delete them all and make them blank so that it could work.
@@LightYagami675S Mine didnt generate them again once I deleted them. Does yours have a setting somewhere else to choose if you want your DNS to be static or to obtain it automatically or something like this? If not, can you set the DNS to be anything else, does it than stay, or does it also change back to what it changes into when you delete them? I would also try changing it into blank values using spaces instead of numbers instead of deleting and leaving all truly blank.
so i put and 80 gb hard drive into my xbox and have sucessfully put three games onto my xbox gta 3, halo 2 and ta vice city. all using file zilla. now when no matter what game i try to put onto my xbox, only parts of the game go the rest of them fails. i dont undestand is it possible that the hard drive is too full after only having three games. ALso when i tried to play a game it says i need to free up some blocks so i am assuming the hd is full. any idea why it became full so quickly.
Say can you connect you x-box directly to your Mackbook or Laptop with an Ethernet cable instead of the Router if this method is munch shorter for you .
hi is there any chnace you could help me asap please i was trying to intall a differnt dashboard xbmc for some reason it has wiped and last night i was getting error code 11+13 then this morning i am not getting error code 16 no disc will boot up at all what are my options ?
I don't think so. The small USB drives are pretty cheap these days. That is all you need plus a particular game such as Splinter Cell to soft mod your XBOX. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do this, and it works very well. I have done about 5 of them with this method.
Seems like something to try to help get some old music of my original xbox but there is a question that is bugging me... Does the system have to be softmodded for this to work? That was not mentioned so I have to know before I attempt
I bought my Xbox with pre loaded games. Played the system for years. Turned it on recently and now it just takes me to the settings menu (memory music setting). How can I get it back to the menu with my games ?
Hi! nice tutorial. I need a help... my xbox with evo x doesn't set a static IP address. I followed all your steps and the xbox just doesn't have an active IP address. It only worked by connecting it to the router with the normal ethernet cable, but when i tried to add a file it continued to disconnect. So, now I hope that the crossover cable is faster! Help me with the problem of the static IP address!!! please!!
Have you tried a hard wire connection with a crossover cable? I would try that, and it if it's still slow, it's likely that your HDD write speed is the choke point in the transfer rate.
Hi Array_J! I have a soft modded original xbox. Would you know how to install dlc to the modded xbox? It would be awesome if you make a video of how to install dlc to original xbox games.
Is it possible to FTP ISOs over? I successfully FTP roms thanks to this video! However I have some ISOs too big for dvd burning that would be great to add to Xbox. I think I will try to convert iso to rom I suppose.
7 years later. THIS IS THE ONLY TUTORIAL: THAT COULD EXPLAIN SETTING UP A STATIC CONECTION . YOU ARE AWESOME !
Thanks so much! I found my old soft modded Xbox in the loft and it's still AMAZING! I couldn’t remember how to do this so came here. My uni friends and I played this a lot. Halo Lan parties, SNES emulators. Was amazing.
It was a console way, way ahead of its time with the soft mod.
You can also connect your xbox to your computer with a standard Ethernet cable these days as long as your pc's network card supports Auto-MDIX.
Yup. Essentially if your network card supports gigabit ethernet (which almost all have since 2017 or so) you're good to go with a regular ethernet cable. Makes things a lot easier.
Is it faster ?
@@Kla2024-s5t An x-over cable or standard ethernet patch cable will run at the same speed, an the X-Box is limited to 100Mb/s Ethernet.
@@Tetrastructural thanks forgot the limit was 100.
Do you need to modify any settings?
This is very well-produced & informative. Glad to see there is still high quality content left on some parts of TH-cam!

Javier Maradiago thank you so much for your lovely comment! Muchas Gracious! Glad I was able to help and have fun with your Xbox!
*Word of caution for those wanting to do this:*

Quem estiver com problemas pra conectar, conecte seu PC e o Xbox ambos através do cabo no mesmo modem e tente usar o Filezilla ao invés do Flash.
thank god I gave you a thumb up a year ago so I could recognize your tutorial... Now after reinstalling system here I am again.
Thank you! Loads of other tutorials didn't work but this one was flawless on the first try.
Absolute legend, forgot how to set up this since back in the day but you made it setup perfectly thanks. ⭐️

Thanks very much! Got it on my Mac OS with a crossover cable and FileZilla installed! Saved my time a lot!!!
thank you so much bro, you have no idea how much this helps given technology has changed over the years

thank you very much, because of your video I found out that I write a wrong number, but now it works. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I was trying to connect using another video tutorial, but the guy forgot to tell about the DHCP setting.
dude... Thank you so much! The second method worked like a charm
A good clear, easy to understand and to follow video. Well done and thanks very much.
Chris anytime Chris I appreciate the comment so thank you for dropping one
Would this work with windows 11 on a old pc
??

Worked. Working right now as I type this in fact.

So I followed the directions and it's working great!... except for saving the games. It won't save anything! Is there a save folder I need to make?
Check if your E partition is lacking space. That is the default partition the Xbox uses to save games.
Unless you mean saving your game on emulator?
