Hey everyone, I’ve googled around for a solution but this seems to be beyond my google-fu, so perhaps you can help.
So, I have an original (i.e. not 360, not One) XBox. I softmodded it before Christmas, and installed a 500GB HDD and after a bit of toing and froing found an FTP program that likes both my laptop and my XBox (FireFTP on Windows 8.1). So it can see the files on both and transfer the files to the XBox that I want.
It’s been working quite well with few problems until two days ago, when suddenly I got tons of error messages saying ‘553 directory not found’. It appears this is some kind of permissions issue, whereby the XBox doesn’t consider I have the rights to transfer files. Which is odd as until five minutes before, it didn’t object.
I’ve tried different files and folders, including renamed versions of ones it previously liked, and it’s just not accepting it. I’ve tried changing the permissions, but it spits back ‘502 Command not implemented’. So that’s a no-go.
Any suggestions, folks? Thanks in advance. 
Oh, I have tried using linux but for some reason it hates my laptop’s ethernet hardware, so Windows is my only choice.
