The important thing to remember here is that the satellites.xml file like many others in enigma2 is a live system file. Just throwing it on to the box and rebooting has a fairly decent chance of failing as the file can become corrupted or overwritten by the current file in the flash at the time.

I know it's long winded and most people will say I'm talking shite but you really should place enigma to sleep via a telnet session before working with or transferring any live file to or from a E2 box, then restart the image so the changes are correctly taken up by the image.

Once you get the hang of it it's quite simple and fairly fast.

1. Open a telnet session and login to your receiver.
2. Issue the init 4 command (this exact spelling) this puts enigma to sleep.
3. Do what ever you need to, such as transferring files to or from the box in ftp.
4. When your happy issue the init 3 command to reboot enigma.

That's it job done, and zero chance of corrupting any live files in the image that may have been being used at that time.
