FTPii and WiiXplorer suddenly not working?

I've been using FTPii and WiiXplorer's FTP functions for a while now, transferring apps between my laptop and the Wii, but suddenly they aren't working anymore. I'm not entirely sure what I've done to make it stop either.

I'm on system menu 4.2, HBC 1.0.7 and BootMii's latest, if any of this information is important.

I have not updated anything except WiiXplorer to it's most recent release, r195. I've been using Filezilla 3.3.1 on Ubuntu, having not updated that recently either. So, I'm not entirely sure what the deal is.

Here's what happens:

*I start up FTPii, and it sits there all happy, waiting for me to do something. I used to just start up Filezilla and type in my wii's IP (192.168.0.17), without a password or anything, all on port 21. It worked just fine until recently.

*FTPii gives me a "Timed out waiting for data connection", then a 520 code (meaning the same thing, IIRC). Filezilla says "Connection timed out."

*Unfortunately, r195 of WiiXplorer won't even start the FTP server; it just hangs on the "network initialising" screen.

Now, I doubt it has anything to do with it, but maybe it does: All of this started when I updated with Hackmii Installer 0.7. I uninstalled DVDX, updated BootMii and updated HBC. I don't think that would effect anything, but I could be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated...

It's related to the HBC update. You'll have to wait for those apps to be re-released.

Does the non-FTP stuff in WiiXplorer work?

I never really used any other feature in WiiXplorer, so I'm not sure. I think the rest of it works fine.

This issue is caused by the 1.0.7 HBC having a new title ID. In order for file transferring over a network to occur, these apps have to be programmed to accept the new title IDs. It's extremely trivial and easy to do, so they should be updated shortly (assuming of course that their authors are still actively developing them)

If the apps are open source, I could theoretically do it myself, I suppose. What is the new title ID?

I've had the same problem, but got ftpii to work again by changing the transfer mode in FileZilla from passive (or default) to active.

I can't vouch for WiiXplorer as I don't use it.

I've also had the same problem : on two different wiis with different versions of ios, the behaviour of ftpii 0.0.21 is not the same : one works perfectly with passive mode, the other one needs active mode.

could a debugmode in ftpii help to diagnose/solve the problem ?

here is the comparisons of versions :
< : ftpii NOK
> : ftpii OK
