Mount HUMAX 5050 PVR via FTP possible

[Puma]

Hello,

Can someone help me to connect my humax 5050 (PVR) with my bubba2?

I have a humax 5050 with built in harddisc and I can connect with a normal pc over FTP to this PVR.

I want to mount this disc to my bubba to let bubba copy or move large files overnight.

Can I mount this disc via FTP (with username and password) to bubba??
I do this with a remote NAS via NFS but the only protocoll the PVR uses is FTP.

Thanks,

Puma

You can only access the Humax via FTP, so will need an FTP client that runs on Bubba. A program like lftp can be started from an xterm. You could ssh to bubba from a PC, then start lftp (or whatever ftp client you prefer) and then connect from there to Humax. During transfer your ftp clients needs to be active, and thus your xterm open and thus your PC active. You likely do not want to do this, so here are two work-arounds that I know (based on what I read, not from own experience):

• use a program like screen which allows you to let programs run when not connected
• write a small shell script that bubba starts from crontab. The script starts ftp and teh transfer to Humax.
