AS long as you are using IDE, why don't you like to use Target File 
System Navigator for file transferring between host and target?  Just 
run qconn on the target.
About FTP: did you run inetd or at least ftpd on your QNX machine?

I noticed that you mentioned in /etc/ftpusers that root was uncommented.

It needs to be commented in order to work, if you want root allowed for ftp access to your target.

I had similar situation just now, I added a # in front of root in /etc/ftpusers, then

1. slay inetd
2. inetd
(/etc/inetd.conf has ftp uncommented to work like you said)

ftpusers is a file of users *disallowed* any ftp access.

Then you can use ftp://root@x.x.x.x (your target's IP) from Windows XP to access and copy files.
