What is your network setup? Are you using a router?

If so, you need to forward port 21 to your Xbox's LAN IP address. This is usually done by accessing your router's configuration interface using a web browser.

For example, if you router's LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1 and you Xbox's IP Address is 196.168.0.3, you would point your browser to http://192.168.0.1/ and login to your router. Then, find the port forwarding section in the interface and forward port 21 to 192.168.0.3.

If you do this, I recommend changing the default FTP password in XBMC from user:xbox, pass:xbox to something that only you and your friends know. Otherwise, for a malacious person, it's as simple as determining you IP Address and logging into your Xbox.

nice 1 brav sorted.....:)

 

what is the IP address the outsider should use to access your xbox from the internet?
