Have a tivo and need to get Tivoftpd in it.

[kriscomach]

thank you for replying.
Okay the system I have is windows 2000.I like the way you explained 
it to me. But can you tell me exactly like point 1,2,3... please. 
What else I did is I got extractstream in to my tivo with zmodem. Can 
you tell me how I can send it throw com port to the tivo. and do I 
need to open up any ports. I think I need to huck it up to com1 or 
com2. thanks and I would like to use the tivo 2.5 version and not go 
to the 1.3. Thanks again for replying. 
bye.
