Hi experts!
After understanding some threads and tutorials, I must come clean that this is just too difficult to me. I purchased a hacked Apple TV with Boxee and XMBC running on it. Everything seems good but I'm unable to make a FTP/SFTP connection with Cyberduck or Terminal. I tried IP AND the same with the appletv.local, but no achievement.
I get the following error:
Cyberduck: Network Error: Connection failed. Connection refused
Terminal: ssh: connect to host appletv.local port 22: Connection refused
I don’t know anything about this error message. I felt that SSH is not executable
How can I locate out if SSH is enabled on my Apple TV?
Please help.
Thanks.

It seems that the person hacked your ATV did not install SSH and again probably did not install Bintools too. Please make make a Patchstick using atvusb-creator.It will be better for you if you use older USB stick you have laying around instead of a newer, bigger stick (Because the newer USB sticks try to be cleaver with things like U3 which need eradicating properly before Patchstick can be gained from them).
However as soon as you have a suitable stick, the next steps are: Download 2Z694-6004-003.dmg from iClarified and for Windows download atv-win-3.0.zip, for Mac download atvusb-creator-1.0.b10 from http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/downloads/list .
Then try to run utility and select SSH Tools and Bintools as install options.When you have making the patchstick, turn off your ATV, plug in the Patchstick,and turn on again,wait to be finished. When you will be notified that the process has been finished,remove the Patchstick and turn off and on again. Allow to reboots back to the main menu and you will be able to use SSH.Code: ssh frontrow@appletv.
local and try to memorize your password.
