What skin/firmware you running?
why is it the first answer is always what firmware skin img are you using to all question
ita a enigma2 box the operating system is the same as any enigma2 box therefore the files are in the same place
regardless what img you are using
if you have media scanner aleady in plugins (vix img) no need to ftp just stick the ipk file on usb stick
stick it in box and follow instructions
any other img download from plugins then no need to ftp just use your usb stick to install ipk files
if you read it i did say its in plugins on vix img all other img you may have to download itYou don't need any added plugins in VIX to install .ipk files from external USB media, this has been built into the image for at least the past 18 months.
