I'd like to be able to use FTP to transfer recordings onto my NAS drive, but I'm not keen on loading software onto the Humax box. I use the USB socket to transfer via external disk, but the 4Gig limit means many recordings especially HD cannot use this.

Is it likely that Humax will ever enable this in an update ?

The 4GB file size is not a Humax restriction it's down to you using a FAT32 drive. Using a drive formatted using EXT3 (linux) will sort this out

So if I formatted a drive with EXT3 (don't know how to yet), would my Windows PC read the contents and allow me to copy to the NAS as with FAT32 ?

I'd still rather FTP if possible.

To read a EXT3 (linux) drive in windows you need an additional driver.

One way to format a drive to EXT3

Using FTP you need Raydons fix which looks so far to be 100% safe.

I can't imagine Humax adding any new features to this product so near product life cycle end.

I formatted a drive with EXT3 and it works fine for larger files, thanks for the tip.
