If you are running Apple TV 2.3.1 and want to have AFP installed you will need to obtain a copy of AppleTV 1.1 software. If you dont have a backup, check with a friend or your local torrent site to grab a copy. Once you obtain the backup DMG file you can extract the following files

/System/Library/CoreServices/AppleFileServer.app
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ByteRangeLocking.framework

Upload the files to your AppleTV and then SSH to the AppleTV. Run the following commands to move the files to the proper location

sudo mv AppleFileServer.app/ /System/Library/CoreServices/
sudo mv ByteRangeLocking.framework/ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/

After you have moved the files you need to edit the hostconfig file to enable AFP to autostart

sudo nano -w /etc/hostconfig

Change the following

AFPSERVER=-NO-

to this

AFPSERVER=-YES-

save the file and then run the following command to start it. If it works you wont get an error message.

sudo /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer

Once started you cant hit Apple+K and enter the following to connect

afp://appletv.local

Use frontrow as the username and the password and you should be all set.
