@Mars
Thanks for the detail. I think I’m nearly there, but getting the following error message:
Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.193:2323…
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message…
Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Error: Connection attempt interrupted by user
Is it the Aura that’s insecure, or my BT Smart Hub 2?
The Aura. Try switching the encryption in Filezilla to “Only use plain FTP (insecure)”. I very much doubt that the lack of encryption presents a security risk when transferring over your own local network.
Or just click OK when the message appears about insecure FTP.

Success! I can now see the recordings on the Aura.
So if I want to copy unencrypted recordings stored on my PC to the Aura, do I just drag and drop from the Local Site panel to the Remote Site Panel > Recordings?
Also, can I backup encrypted recordings on the Aura to my PC with the intention of moving them back to the Aura at a future date? I know these files will only play on the Aura.
I’ve just copied an unencrypted .ts file from my PC to the Aura (into the Movies folder). But how do I ‘see’ and play this file on the Aura as, under Recordings, there are only the three options of By Channels, By Series and By Time?
I also note that Aura recordings appear in their own sub folder in each of those Recordings categories.
You need to install VLC Media Player on the Aura.

Why would you want to backup encrypted recordings? Wouldn’t it be safer to remove the encryption from the recordings you want to backup so that they would be playable on another box if the current one fails?

I can see your problem. afaik you can’t play HD files on another device, not even another Aura. For that reason I record everything that I may need to download in SD
Agreed. ASAIK HD recordings are locked to the device they were recorded on by DRM Digital Rights Management and cannot be played on any other device … so, if your Aura fails you effectively lose every HD recording even though the disc is fine.
The Aura allows you to convert HD recordings to a lower resolution format and then download them which is not a perfect solution but much better than any of the earlier Humax boxes.

If you use File Explorer to access the Aura files, the recordings are shown without their sub-folders.
Unlike Filezilla with File Explorer you can copy and paste to your heart’s delight.
If you have more than 1 recording in a series they will be in a sub-folder. Just click on the ‘All’ folder and recordings in all sub-folders will be shown.

A link to the app would help, just searching for “file explorer” brings up too many results. Or are you saying that there is already a suitable app installed on the Aura?

File Explorer is part of Windows 10, and you can use it to access the Aura’s files providing your PC is on the same network.

I think @daveveal is referring to File Explorer in Windows 10. I too would prefer to use File Explorer, but the Aura does not show up under Network, only my Desktop PC.

If I could remove the encryption on the Aura recordings (like I could with Custom Firmware on my old Foxsat HDR) then they would remain in HD format. But the Aura converts to a lower definition which is unacceptable.

This is how I access the files on my Aura using Windows 10.
Open File Explorer
Click on This PC (Ignore Network)
Select Aura 4K Media Server
Open the Recordings folder
Please let me know if it works for you.
As I said above, don’t use Network, use ‘This PC’

In File Explorer, My PC only shows (under Network locations) my Dell Laptop and no sign of the Aura.

In Settings, under “Record and Share” do you have the “Network server (DLNA/UPnP)” turned on?
