Yes, Win7.

I get a message about not having permission!

Is it possible to delete files on the HDR using Windows Explorer or Filezilla?

Windows explorer ( windows 7 ) = yes.

I have never set-up anything on the HDR, as I just accessed it previously to copy some video files back and forth using Windows (7) Explorer.

I also copy files from the internal HDD to the USB HDD, again using Win Explorer. This enables me to copy whole folders, rather than individual files if I do it from within the Foxsat itself. However, when I try to delete the original folder (on the internal Foxsat HDD) is when I get the no permission message!

Have uploaded a screen shot of the Foxsat (from Filezilla).

You need to post much more – what are you seeing this in, what servers are you using on the hdr? samba, one of the two ftp servers?

Hi,

Just realised that too – I was trying to delete folders that have stuff inside them.

So I deleted all the files inside the folder, and was then able to delete the folder.

I think that I have the original bundle!

Hi,

Have updated now.

All seems OK.

Thanks for your help,

Paul.

Here is my slightly dated memories on Windows and tcp/ip based networks.

When samba starts on the HDR it will broadcast its presence to your network. As your PC was having a nap at the time it missed this. Periodically the master browser on your network broadcasts to the subnet asking who is there. (they hold an election, on my network the server a domain controller always wins).

With Windows 7 it seems to takes ages for the PC to see a PC NOT in the same workgroup / domain (By default samaba is set to “Home” and a windows PC “WORKGROUP” this can be changed – see the package readme).

One trick to always show the HDR is to map a network drive to the HDR – then the PC will verify that it is there when you try and do anything.

Hi

I was hoping for a little help installing the various applications from the file “raydon’s_Media_and_File_Server_Bundle_for_FoxsatHDR_release_3c.rar”. I have uncompressed and followed the instructions to install the initial file “FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade.hdf” without issue. However I have not managed to install any of the applications! I have tried in the following ways.

I copy the installer file (FOXSAT-HDR_install_mediatomb-0.11.0.tar.gz) to a empty USB stick and plugging it into the front USB socket on my Humax whilst it is powered on, have also tried it decompressed “FOXSAT-HDR_install_mediatomb-0.11.0.tar” and also tried it decompressed to point where I get the directories and files listed at the root of my USB stick. Nothing seems to make any difference.

I have also tried with the firmware and the installers (in each of the 3 forms as described above) present on the USB stick and performing the firmware upgrade again, again the upgrade seems to complete but nothing else is installed (nothing is deleted from the USB stick)

Please could someone point me in the right direction, as this whole process seems completely beyond me?

Hi Newbie Alert…

Sorry to hijack the thread but I am also experiencing similar problems to detrosuk and don't know where to begin to resolve the issues.

I have a Foxsat 500gb HDR on version 1:00:15 factory loaded.

I have downloaded Raydon's excellent rar package and using a FAT32 USB Pen, have loaded the Foxsat-HDR_upgrade.hdf file along with rar files Foxsat-HDR_install_twonky-4.4.18.tar.gz and also Foxsat-HDR_install_telnet.tar.gz. With these files loaded, I have followed this procedure:

i. Put the Foxsat HDR into standby.

ii. Inserted the USB whilst holding the standby button.

iii. When P00 shows on display following boot, I have released the standby button.

iv. When END is shown,the standby button is pressed.

v. The Foxsat goes into standby and then a further press of the standby button causes the Foxsat HDR to boot.

vi. The USB is kept in the Foxsat at reboot to read the installers and flash them to the HDR.

vii. I wait to see if the Foxsat HDR boots again of its own accord but doesn't so I reboot the machine.

viii. I check the USB pen drive and the installer .rar files have been deleted indicating that they have been written to the Foxsat HDR.

ix. Using PUTTY I try to connect to the Foxsat HDR using the settings attached in the uploaded JPG attached.

x. I cannot see the Foxsat on my network (although it has an IP address of 192.168.0.6 allocated by DHCP) nor can I connect to http://Foxsat-HDR:9000 or 192.168.0.6.

I'm not sure what else I can do. I am using Windows 7 Home Professional with Twonkymedia 6.0.32 via a Virginmedia Superhub on 30meg service. Any advice you can give a newbie on where he is going wrong?

Cheers
