I have looked at about 30 different pages and I am not sure what to follow and some of them I am not sure if it is talking about what I want to do. First off is this possible? I am pretty sure it is but just not sure where the best up-to-date guide to follow. Also some of this terminology is making my head spin and I have no clue if I already have this stuff or not. Currently I already have my apple tv patchsticked and have installed nitotv. I have been using cyberduck to transfer files to my external hard drive hooked up to the apple tv via SFTP but it takes a long time to transfer using sftp and I assume connecting to appletv in finder will be faster just not how to set it up or which tutorial to follow. So if someone can help me out here and give me a little guidance that would help me out greatly! Thanks

Run smart installer in NitoTv.

You can enable ftp and use that in Cyberduck (ftp is faster) or try Fugu which is even faster (using sftp) than Cyberduck. This will be faster than smb or afp. To get an AFP server (which is what you seem to want) you need to run Smart Installer from nitoTV with the correct files in Documents on the ATV ( the Tiger full upgrade). Depending on your ATV you may have to include part of a 1.0 restore image to get the AFP server part (not the smb stuff).

The easiest and fastest way is via ftp.

Thanks a lot, this helps a ton! And yes I do need the 1.0 restore image which I will have to track down somewhere. In the mean time I have tried connecting via ftp and unable to for some reason. Is it basically the same info I put in? Just ftp://AppleTV.local/ port 22 and frontrow frontrow? or am I missing something?
