Do you have a copy of the original file you edited on your PC, can you attach it here?

One reason the serial transfers used to fail - the USB to serial adaptor was crap. However your transfer doesn't appear to have even started.
I'll have a look at TeraTerm when I get home - I have a feeling there might be some other terminal setting to change.
I used serial/dialup for a year, but it was so long a ago I've forgotten how I solved such issues.

This is what i got:
[TiVo [S3] ~]# sz /etc/oztivo.confsz /etc/oztivo.conf
Can't open any requested files.

Actually it looks like /etc/oztivo.conf is missing, that is why it can't send it.

type cd /etc then ls -l or just ls to get a list of files in that folder. Is oztivo.conf listed?

Ah guess its not there. I swear i didn't delete it! I am using hyperterminal also. Cheers.

Try seeing if the file is anywhere on the TiVo.

Run the find command from root.

[TiVo [p0] ~]# find / -iname oztivo.conf

Either way, you can just make a new one.

# OzTiVo menu configuration settings file
# Please do not edit this file
# Run the nic_config_tivo tool to reconfigure
nic=
ip=
mac=
timing=
hostname=
emulator=
emulatorport=
netmask=
gateway=
ssid=
wep=
wepkey=

By just making the above file with your details.

You could also try using nic_config_tivo, but there were some versions that did not work correctly.

I am using hyperterminal also

Stop using Hyperterminal, it is a piece of crap. Also, have you got local echo turned on (it should be off).

[MelissaH]

I ran find / -iname oztivo.conf and nothing came back - weird.

Also, i tried it all with tera term and had the same results. I have tried connecting to it using smartftp and can't get it to connect, it says something about the host rejecting it, so i don't know how to put in a new file?

Any suggestions?

[petestrash]

Try running nic_config_tivo to see if it will recreate your oztivo.conf file.

Or just manually make a new one as suggested above.

Peter.

[MelissaH]

ok, i ran nic_config_tivo and can now connect via ftp and via tivowebplus, yay! The file is below and i guess i now need to edit it? Could you please give me strict and easy instructions and i might get it right this time

I tried an optimistic daily call and got 'Failed. Service unavailable'

# OzTiVo menu configuration settings file

This method means you don't have to use an editor. Just type in everything in the quote exactly as shown below (there are 6 lines to type, hit 'enter' after each line).

It's probably best to copy and paste these commands into Hyperterminal (or whatever you are using) one line at a time, to make sure there are no mistakes.

cd /etc
rw
cp oztivo.conf oztivo.conf.old
sed 's/80/9090/' oztivo.conf.old > oztivo.conf
ro
reboot

Ok, did that and still getting 'Failed. Service unavailable'
