Create password for FTP: OE-A images

Since early 2020, OE-Alliance images such as OpenATV and OpenViX require a password before they will allow FTP access. You will not be able to connect over FTP until you set one. There are two ways to do this.

Option 1 — From the Receiver Menu

Go to Menu → Setup → Network → Password, create your password, then press the Green button to save.

Pressing TEXT will open the full keyboard.

Option 2 — From the Command Line

You can also set the password from a command line using an application such as PuTTY or a terminal. OpenWebIf on most images has a built-in Terminal, so you won't need a separate application.

Issue the following command:

passwd

You will be prompted to enter the new password. The cursor will not move while you type — that is normal. Press Return after entering your password, then retype it to confirm the change.
