Hello,
I have managed to get a FTP server and telnet server running on the Humax Foxsat-HDR. I am using the device in non-freesat mode, and therefore i want to have more EPG and scheduling functionality. I started with adding telnet, and tried to set scheduled recording without the Humax software (the regular GUI). I did not succeeded in this yet, i hope someone maybe has a better idea about it.
However, i have got telnet and FTP working on the Foxsat. Therfore i want to share this with this forum:
I have attached a hdf-file (in a rar-file), which is ready to use. Unrar, and place this file on a USB stick and connected it to the Foxsat device (in standby, front USB-port). Then push the power button (front-button) and KEEP it pressed until the download screen appears. Let the device finish until END shows up on the display. Turn off the device (back-button), unplug the USB-stick and power on the device again (with back-button). It will now start and stay in standby-mode, after this it can be turned on as normal with the front button or remote.
There you have it: FTP and Telnet. Login with FTP as user HumaxFTP and pasword 0000 (default). Telnet has no login at all. I did use FileZilla as FTP client and Putty as telnet client. You can now turn off telnet and change the FTP password. In the Music folder you wil find a SETUP folder that will contain two folders named TELNET and 0000. If you want to turn off telnet delete the TELNET folder, and restore the folder if you want it back (has to be capitals, and you need to reboot). If you want to change the FTP password change the folder with the 4 digits into another value, but keep in mind it can only be 4 digits. The password is changed after a reboot. You can change the SETUP folder with FTP or on the Humax box with the remote (file-manager).
There is little danger i trying this mod, you can switch back to the original firmware anytime. Just download it from Humax and deploy it the same way as described above (rename it to FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade.hdf). I have done this myself many times, the box did always return in the original state. Ofcourse, i still want to say that if you want to use this modification, it is at you own risk.
I have only modified the open-source Linux BusyBox file-system and not the Humax software.
