[Tutorial] - FTP to LeapPad

[snipa]

I'm having problems with this.
Using OpenLFConnect I can use dftp to my LeapPad 2 fine but it's a bit unreliable so I'm looking to use a GUI based program; WinSCP preferrably.

I have successfully created the 'developer' directory within the /flags folder.
My Network Adaptor assigns an IP in the range of 169. to the LeapPad.
I have overridden the IP and assigned a 192.168.0.x IP to the LeapPad.
Windows doesn't like this however and sometimes and gives me an error but upon checking, the IP address has been set OK.

Now the problem... I simply cannot connect to the LeapPad. It refuses the connection. I know it is trying to connect as if I don't enter the username 'root' beforehand, upon trying to connect it will prompt for one. If it was unable to find the device the prompt for a username would never appear.

At this point I'm also unable to connect to the LeapPad using LFConnect, OpenLFConnect or LeapPad Manager. The only way I have found to get a connection back is to restore the LeapPad using 'Tune up' [Down and Home buttons at Power On] which takes some time!

Can anyone help please!?
