Entering StellarOS

The first step is to enter StellarOS. The Xbox console must be on and inside of StellarOS for the FTP server to function.

Installing an FTP Client

We recommend the free FileZilla FTP client for its simplicity. However, if you have another FTP client you're fond of, you're welcome to use it. While this guide will center on FileZilla, the underlying principles should remain consistent across different clients!

Maximum Simultaneous Transfers

StellarOS is optimized, and requires, maximum simultaneous transfers to be set to 1. Filezilla Limites

Default Transfer Type

Default Transfer Type must be set to Binary to ensure that files are transfered without conversion. Filezilla Limites

Connecting to StellarOS

After correctly setting up Filezilla, you can establish a connection to the Xbox. Input the IP Address displayed by StellarOS, use xbox for both the Username and Password fields, and set the Port to 21.

Transfering Files

Upon connecting via FTP, you'll encounter distinct folders representing each drive partition (C, E, F, and so on).

tip

Comprehensive details about these partitions can be found on the Xbox Technical Info - Hard Drive Partitions page.

Within Filezilla, you can conveniently drag and drop files either from your computer to the window on the right or vice versa, from the left side of the window.
