Unable to ssh into atv from windows 7 #581

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using Putty or WinSCP
2. I'm trying to SMB share from windows 7 to apple tv
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It says connection refused when trying to ssh.  I have the proper ip address 
and use 'frontrow' as both the user and pword.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using the most recent version of XBMC 10.0

Please provide any additional information below.

Ideally I would like to skip the ssh stuff as I am an uber noob and have no 
idea what to do once I ssh into the atv. 

My main problem is that I want to just smb share from my windows 7 pc to the 
atv.  However it asks me for passwords when I do this, there are no passwords 
at this point, I did set up a password thinking it could be entered into the 
atv, but when this is dont I have no idea what my username is, or where to find 
it.

Do you have already xbmc running on your atv?
Anyways, in order to transfer files from Windows to ATV you will have to go 
thru some ftp.
Simpler is to ask XBMC to look at an SMB disk in your home network and take the 
movie from there.

Thanks for the quick response.

I actually got the problem figured out for the SMB transfers.

If any other newbie out there is having difficulty, as a default the SMB 
password is going to be the username and password that you use to login to 
Windows.  I didn't have a password so that was a major issue for me...I added a 
password and then used it for the SMB transfer fileshare and it all worked 
perfectly.
