I have a Humax Aura 2TB Smart Freeview 4K TV Recorder and want to download video files from the recorder to a USB stick. I want to then play the files back on my PC with the files from the USB stick. I have downloaded Filezilla onto my PC but am having trouble connecting the PC to the Humax. I have sent screenshots of my setup and the error messages I am getting. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Downloading files from a Humax Aura 2TB

I have a Humax Aura 2TB Smart Freeview 4K TV Recorder and want to download video files from the recorder to a USB stick. I want to then play the files back on my PC with the files from the USB stick. I have downloaded Filezilla onto my PC but am having trouble connecting the PC to the Humax. I have sent screenshots of my setup and the error messages I am getting. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Unfortunately the screenshots haven’t made it to the forum, probably a file size issue.
If it helps the Filezilla settings I use are:
Protocol: FTP – file transfer protocol
Host: the IP address of the Aura
Port: 2323
Encryption: Only use plain FTP
Logon type: Normal:
user: aura
Password : box pin default 0000
If you are using those settings the tell us the text of the error messages. I assume you have enable the FTP server in the Aura settings?
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.

These are the two screenshots. Please advise.
I have enabled the FTP Protocol on the Humax Aura, in the settings menu.
The second image suggests you are using the Filezilla server package when I think you should be using the Filezilla client (the Aura is in this case the FTP server).
Hello,
Downloaded Filezilla server package but getting error messages.

I think you mean that you downloaded the client package. You need to click on the “Site manager” icon immediately below “File” and that will being up a screen where you can fill in ALL the details I provided in post #3.
I have done as you said, but am still getting an error message.

The IP address should be in the Host field and “Aura” should be in the user field.
Just use VLC player on PC – scroll down to UPNP then click aura to see files -play the file you want
Click on tools then media info then copy file location
Then paste in your browser and it will download it
( of course convert files first on aura)

What the OP said he wanted to do was “I want to then play the files back on my PC with the files from the USB stick.” which your DLNA solution won’t do.
Thank you for your advice. It does work and I can connect my PC to the Humax recorder remotely and convert and watch the content via the VLC media player. I had a Bush Freeview Recorder B1TBHDPVR which broke. I managed to transfer the content from the Bush disc drive to my internal drive on my PC. The only problem is I cannot view these files on my PC. I have included two screenshots of what I am seeing. I no longer have the recorder or the recorder hard drive. Any ideas how I can access and view these files? Thank you.

Those “chunk” files maybe similar to those on a Humax. If so my post on another forum https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/hdr-2000t-copy-recordings-to-usb-drive.5702/#post-74572 may be helpful.
In brief, you need to open a command window on your pc (or whatever the equivalent is on modern Windows) and
copy/b chunk.1+chunk.2+chunk.3 xxx.ts
That is for as many chunks as there are!
Try just a couple of chunks and see if the resulting file plays before going any further.
