Xbox One:SFTP

The UWP developer mode on the Xbox One happens to have an always active SSH server running in the background, and this can be used for file transfers over the network.

1. Make sure you have a network connection (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) between your Xbox and PC.
2. On the console's Developer Home screen, take note of the IP address.
3. Install an SFTP client like WinSCP.
4. Open WinSCP and select the option for "SFTP" in the "File Protocol" box. Enter your Xbox's IP address into the "Host name" field, set admin as the username and password, leave the port number as 22, and click the "Login" button.
   • If the console has had an admin account created from a privilege escalation exploit, the default username and password will be admin. If it was changed at any point, make sure to put it in WinSCP.
   • Without an admin account, set the username as DevToolsUser, and set the password as your Visual Studio pin code.
5. On the right-hand side, you should see a directory listing of the different partitions on the drive, as well as any USB devices.
6. You can browse your PC on the left-hand side and upload or download files by right-clicking them and choosing the relevant option on either session, or by dragging and dropping files between the panes.
