FTP to TViX using Filezilla

Thanks to ‘transco’ on the TViXBox Forums for the heads-up that free, open-source FTP client Filezilla works with the FTP on the TViX boxes. Up to now I’ve been using the Terminal FTP because none of the other GUI-based clients (Transmit, Fetch, MacFusion, Cyberduck all tried) worked properly, apparently due to some oddity in the way that the TViX returns a directory listing

  • Hi there. Stil got a mac and 4100? I try to work with it and work wirelessly but with no success :( I mean I can FTP somehow, but what I would really love is an option to mount. MacFuse still does not support it I guess. Got any ideas? I use it mainly as a backup device for my macbook and would love to see it as a network disk – for instance my Adobe Lightroom would see all the photos and have access to them as soon as I connect. Now I gotta connect my USB cable what is somehow lame…

  • Hi there, thanks for stopping by.

    No, there’s no option to mount it, unfortunately. I was in touch with the MacFusion folks and the problem seems to be that the TViX has a dodgy implementation of the FTP LIST command which breaks things. Only a few Mac FTP clients work at all (Fetch doesn’t, for example).

    The only thing I can think of to do what you’re trying to accomplish would be for the photos to be stored on a network share, which can be accessed by both the TViX and the Mac. That’s what I do with my iTunes library.
