Hi All

I am hoping a fellow member can advise, as it's driving me crazy and plenty of google searches have not helped so far.

I am trying to FTP into my box using FTPflash, and I have also tried Filezilla without success.

I had not upgraded the image of the unit for almost a year and thought I would give this new whoosh build (based on openvix) a try.

I understand that a password must be set to allow connectivity, I have entered one, ensured I have saved, restarted both the network and box, but I still can't access it.

I have tried root as username, and without any username, I have left password box blank, used root and the new password I entered, but the same error occurs.

I have also disabled my firewall software in case that was causing it to not connect, but still nothing.

Any other suggestions?

... I think he already has.
 
Anyway you wont get wooshbuild support here. You are better off flashing with openvix and see how you get on

User = root
Pass = the password you entered on the box

Paswords are case sensitive on Unix/Linux systems.
Has the IP number of your box changed?
 
Can you telnet/putty into the box with username root and password the one you set ?
 
Wooshbuild infinity is based on Openatv not vix, it's basically a settings backup that's added on a fresh openatv image.

Telnet into the box . Change the password by entering passwd (not spelling) enter new password and repeat

It shows that you don't have a root password set, after that it's anybody's guess.

I've just changed my password, and, indeed, a Samba password is also updated.

Code:
root@vuultimo4k:/etc/samba# ls -l private
-rw-------    1 root     root        430080 Dec 31 10:38 secrets.tdb
-rw-------    1 root     root           204 Jan 18 15:30 smbpasswd
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            80 Dec 31 10:38 users.map
root@vuultimo4k:/etc/samba#

Flashing ViX creates a directory called /etc/samba, something you appear not to have?

Very odd, I am entering the password and clicking save. I think I will flash with a different image and see If I have more success.
 
Well, reflashed with different openatv image, same problem as before.
 
Success! Resetting password by telnet solved it. Setting via the unit simply would not work. Thanks chaps!
 
Stop using wooshbuild, openatv and other buggy rubbish ;-)

All this 100% works on my Zgemma H7S with OpenViX.

A bit strong calling other people's work rubbish. A lot of the behind the scene stuff is done by the OpenATV people.
Remove it if you wish, I thought the smiley made it clear it was a joke. But I guess nevertheless it was a mistake.
 
... not that it really matters, but I'm not seeing a smiley in the post, just ";-)"
