Alien 8900 Noob Questions

[Hibernian56]

I just bought one of these and I must say its fantastic.

I have a couple of questions;

1: Where or how do I install the mcaskey.bin file?
2: How do I log into the box, it rejects my user name & password even though all is well.

It's a great site by the way, plenty of info here, but I couldn't find answers to these two questions.

Thanks.

Ok, I figured out question 2, at least partially, no fancy web interface, but it's ok. I used an FTP program to connect (Forklift on the Mac) connection settings are;

1: 192.168.xxx.xxx - IP address of Alien 8900
2: password
3: user name

Thats it, worked on standard port 21. Easy peasy.

Any ideas on where to put the mcaskey.bin file?

Translate by Google:
The plugin MCAS (the EMU) does not use this file, use the file keydata.bin which is located in the path root/plugin/var/keys and edit from the menu of MCAS.

Original en Español:
El plugin MCas (La EMU) no usa este fichero, usa el fichero keydata.bin que se situa en la ruta root/plugin/var/keys y se edita desde el menu de MCas.

I have the plugin plugin_mcas_full.s is this what you are talking about?

The key I am using is from mcaskey by dreamer1983 09.06.2012.rar

Its only one file with no instructions at all. I am lost, completely and utterly lost. Are there any guides (for idiots like me) I can read?

Thanks for your help by the way.

Original en español:
Tengo este deco y lo uso con el sistema Spark (No Enigma2), si quieres que te mande los plugins completos que me estan funcionando ahora mismo, pasame un email, ya que no me da opcion de subir ficheros, o no la veo.

I have this deco and use with the Spark (not Enigma2), if you want to send me the complete plugins are working right now, pass me an email, because it gives me no option to upload files, or not see.

I managed to get the Oscam server running, and added users, but I can't connect to the server (using a very old guide I found on the net) BUT this guide was to set up local sharing using the internal slot, so I have no idea how to add the oscam.keys file as a reader.

Also, as mentioned the users I added can't connect. Here is the code of the relevant files;

Just to keep everyone updated.

Maam64 has managed to get me 99% up and running. I managed to delete my original plugin folder which caused havoc, but its all sorted now.

Oscam, MCAS & Mgcamd are running. Now I just need to wrap my head around how the keys work.

This is a great site by the way.
