Host name

[ifearnobeer]

i am trying to connect my sf8 using filezilla.I have found the ip address of my box but where do i get the hostname from,and do i create my own username and password.I have read tutorials and posts on the forum but can't get the info i need.Sorry if it's a dumb question but i am very new to this hobby and everything is a complete mystery.Thanks for any help.Doh:confused:

Have you tried root as username and leave password blank.

Host = IP address of receiver.
User = root
Password = leave blank unless you have changed it. (Actually any password will work until you set one.)
Port = leave blank uness you have changed it

When i click quickconnect on filezilla it says server already connected but there are no server files on the right hand side so i cant enter my CCcam cfg.Any ideas fellers.

Can you navigate to /etc/

[ifearnobeer]

No the etc and tmp files aren't there .the right hand side is completely empty and says "not connected to server",but when i click on "quickconnect" it says already connected to server.

[abu baniaz]

Dont click on "quick connect", enter details and then press enter

After hours of searching the forum and acting on members advice and tutorials i have finally managed to get my sf8 working,first with fta and now scrambled channels.Now i'll try to set up a channel list.I'd like to thank the vix guys and members for their help.
