Hey!

I am trying to get the pure-ftp server (which is included in your 1.02.21_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.2.6 firmware) running to share some folders of a connected HDD over the Internet, but I am running out of ideas how to solve it. FTP-Server is running and it’s possible for me to have access on the WDTV Live by root. For the configuration of the FTP-Server I need the pure-pw command, which is not available at the WDLXTV. Maybe someone can help about fixing this issue.
@b-rad: Thanks a lot for your great work.

IT WORKS! Thanks.

How fast is (the best or reasonable) transfer speed (I use FTP) from my PC to WDLXTV? I have Transcend USB 100Mbps card. My FTP transfer speed is 3,3MBps. Is it to low? How to improve that?

I have Win7 64 bit and cannot connect in explorer to WDTV, despite the fact that I have samba pack installed and see WDTV-… folder. I cannot connect to WDTV. (No) Username or password don’t suite????

Thanx

Hey All,
Have read of lot of comments above. I am having the issue with the FTP not running.
I have put the app.bin file on the root of the flash drive and rebooted several times. I am able to Telnet into the WDTV and have even changed the password for the root. With either firezilla or FireFTP I am unable to get an FTP connection to the WDTV. I have telnetted in and checked the /apps directory and the only file that it is there is the core.extras.bin file which I need cause the HDD is formatted in HFS.
How can I get the pureftpd.app.bin file to mount ????

Simple fix for all of those who are having trouble logging into the ftp:

1. Connect via PuTTY telnet session (login = root)
2. Type ‘passwd’ and change the default root password to something other than being blank.
3. login as root with your new password via ftp, ssh, etc.

Apparently pure-ftpd wasn’t a cause. Just added event-osd.app.bin to usb stick, which in the end seems has fixed remote control issue. Strange there is no any note about it!

Hi there!

Thank you for the great firmware! I am newbie to the Linux world, nevertheless managed to get working usb wireless dongle d-link dwa-140(b2) (thanks to the forum where i found the answer) and pure-ftpd server using which i can upload stuff to my WDTV+WD MyBook. The only problem that pure-ftpd causing remote control not working during playback. Is there any workaround of this problem? Is there any other ftp server that might be used along with WDLXTV?

Thank you!

I was able to FTP into my WDTV Ver 1. without any problem then it stopped working (using ver 0.5.8.1). I tried reflashing but when I put in any flash drive or USB external disk drive formatted with Fat32 with pure-ftp on it the WDTV won’t boot. Blue screen comes up, LEDs light up then goes to static. This happens with or without USB hub. If I delete pure-ftp or if I plug in disk drive after boot occurs, everything works fine except can’t use FTP (of course). IP address is recognized.
Any ideas?

Hi, thank you so much for your great work. I've a stupid question: is there a possibility to reset the password? I've changed mine, and can't login anymore. Maybe a typo, don't know. Is it possible to reset it somehow or do I have to downgrad to a official release and then install your firmware again? Thanks in advance, gerd <<< edit: Reflashing won't affect passwords and other persistent data. Try this, it will reset your password to blank. Ask for further info on the wdlxtv forums --b-rad >>>

Hi,

I can send files between my pc and the wdtv. The only problem i have is that after every 1mb or so that i tranfer, the transfer pauses for a second and then continues, and then pauses after the next 1mb is transferred. Have you come across this?
