Somehow, TivoWebPlus had gotten screwed up on my TiVo. It wasn't running at all. The IP is correct, I still have telnet access and can log in with FileZilla. The code is also in my author file:

# telnet / serial
#!/bin/bash
export TIVO_ROOT=
export MFS_DEVICE=/dev/hda10
export PATH=./:.:/utils:/bin:/sbin:/tvbin:/busybox:/enhancements
tnlited 23 /bin/bash -login &
/bin/bash </dev/ttyS2&> /dev/ttyS2&
tivoftpd

#############################################
# starting netserver to receive netperf requests
/enhancements/netserver

#############################################
# starting NCID CallerID
touch /var/log/cidcall.log &
cd /var/hack/sbin; ./ncidd
cd /var/hack/bin; ./tivocid &

#############################################
# starting EndPadPlus
tivosh /enhancements/endpadplus.tcl 2 2 -seq -auto >> /dev/null &

#############################################
# starting Tivowebplus
/TivoWebPlus/tivoweb

#############################################
# start crond after waiting 30 seconds
sleep 30
/busybox/crond

Since it wasn't running I tried to delete the TivoWebPlus folder using FileZilla so I could re-install it. That deleted all the files, but left the folders. I've pretty much made a mess of things and would appreciate any help in getting this problem solved.

telnet in and delete the remnants with rm -rf /TivoWebPlusThen ftp the TWP archive back to your tivo and unpack it.

I tried two different methods of unzipping that i found on the TivoWebPlus page and on its FAQ...

This brought me back to the bash:
HD-bash# cd /var/hack
HD-bash# gzip -dc < tivowebplus-v2.0.0-070210.tgz | tar xf -

... and this one had the following results:
HD-bash# gzip -dc < tivowebplus-v2.0.0-070210.tgz | cpio -idu -H tar
3078 blocks
HD-bash#

cd / to /var/hack and see if there is a TivoWebPlus folder there. The first command you used doesn't give any output, it just unpacks the archive in /var/hack.

We have a connection. Thanks to all who helped.
