FTP server

Login

Section titled “Login”

The default user name and password are both xboxftp. To choose your own, press Y on the FTP server tab while the server is stopped. The Xbox keyboard asks for the user name and then the password: 1 to 23 letters, digits or symbols, no spaces. Cancelling either one leaves the login unchanged.

On the FTP tab, D-pad Left/Right switches the login off, so any user name and password work. The login is saved in FastFTP360.ini next to the XEX, which you can also edit on a PC:

login=on
user=xboxftp
password=xboxftp

Missing or invalid lines keep the defaults.

Folders

Section titled “Folders”

The top level lists the drives the way Aurora’s FTP does, sorted by name, so paths such as /Hdd1/Content/... are the same in both servers. Only drives that are present and readable are listed.

FTP path Contents
/Game/ The drive and folder FastFTP360 was started from
/Hdd1/ The internal hard drive
/HddX/, /SysExt/, /System/ Hard drive system partitions
/Usb0/ to /Usb2/ USB storage devices
/USBMU0/ to /USBMU2/, /USBMUCache0/ to /USBMUCache2/ USB sticks formatted by the Xbox

Transfer list and log file

Section titled “Transfer list and log file”

The FTP tab lists the last five finished transfers with their file name, size and speed, newest first. Every event is also written to FastFTP360.log next to the XEX:

2026-10-13 18:40:12  FTP server started on 192.168.1.50 port 21, login xboxftp. Folders: Game Hdd1 Usb0
2026-10-13 18:40:31  192.168.1.20  Logged in as xboxftp
2026-10-13 18:44:52  192.168.1.20  Upload /Hdd1/Games/game.iso, 7466336256 bytes in 259.10 s (27.48 MiB/s)

Wrong logins, downloads, deletes, renames, new folders and disconnects are logged too. When the log grows past 1 MiB, it is moved to FastFTP360.old.log the next time the server starts.

What the server supports

Section titled “What the server supports”
  • Uploads, downloads, folder listings, file sizes, new folders, deleting, and renaming.
  • Up to four client connections at once. One is usually enough. More connections don’t add speed, because the connection itself is the limit.
  • Control port 21. Passive data ports 36100 to 36199.
  • Not supported: active mode (PORT/EPRT), FTPS/TLS, SFTP, and resuming a partial transfer. Restart an interrupted upload from the beginning.
  • Uploading to an existing name replaces the file. A failed upload is deleted, so an interrupted overwrite does not keep the old file.
  • Each finished transfer’s 226 reply in the FTP client log shows bytes, seconds and MiB/s.

Nothing is encrypted, including the login. See Safety.
