I'd already checked that. WinSCP reports that the device actively refused the connection.

This is a problem I often have. When mentioned on here I was told by another user that he had no such problem. I was hoping that the new software might have cured this. As the ftp access is knackered by the update that won't happen.
What I try, not always successfully, is to turn File Share off and on; if that doesn't work: turn it off, toggle Allow Anonymous, turn File Share on; possibly repeat ; turn Network Server on/off.
If nothing has worked try setting the IP settings (mine are static and I just re-enter the same IP. If yours are DHCP try setting something static and then return to DHCP). If all else fails reboot the Aura (and maybe the router/network switch - making sure it is active before the Aura reboots).
Usually fiddling with the Record & Share items is enough.

If you had the update you would be on Android 14 now, If you look at ..........Device preferences then About ..........it says which version of Android you are on.

Patience and a willingness to look for solutions. Irritating though it is, it's better than the f@#&ing b@st@rds taking the FTP upload access away.

I don't understand why people continue to use the Aura. There are much better Humax PVRs available cheaply on ebay, and plenty of other options for streaming (apps on the TV, various streaming sticks etc).

Because I've already bought it, it's out of warranty and the resale value is poor - and it mostly works with a bit of TLC (not ch 12!). Some of us don't want second-hand stuff off ebay and my TVs don't accept apps.

Any HDR-FOXes I've bought that way have been in VGC. You just have to pick and choose.
..............................Also 4K ,7.1 audio and the ability to record 4 shows at once. If it had not had its issues it would have wiped the floor with all previous PVR's Humax or otherwise.

Possibly the same thing but VLC on the Aura can play HEVC and some of the other more exotic codecs (although it does have problems with some). My 5000T and 2000T can't play them.

How's it getting 4K and 7.1 audio? Not from Freeview. I get both 4K and either 7.1 or Atmos sound from my Apple TV 4K Gen 3. Combine that with a pair of HDR Fox T2s and I think I've got more capability and certainly much more reliability than an Aura.

Fair point,Steppy.
All this exporting and reimporting (or simply importing) on a computer is one thing, but on a Humax its quite another.

I presume that refers to this, which was a long way back in this thread!:

There's not a lot of export/import there.
I thought it might be the saving and restoring of recordings - but that wasn't Steppy. (The saving/restoring recordings is my fault. I was asked a question and answered it. Just because it can be done doesn't mean you have to)
And the lesson is - if you're going to comment on something a long way back, quote the message or at least tell us the post number (eg #55).

I've just done a Freeview Reset. My friend did the same because her Aura has issue that mine has. We both saved our User Preferences and then restored them after the reset. We both found that most of our recording schedule is squiffy. Initially we both had 2 programs which looked ok, then all the rest said 'Invalid' in the channel icon and zero programs to be recorded. (See attached). We both restored the settings again and found that we had a couple more programs that looked ok. We imported a few times now. I've get 10 ok programs and my friend has 7.
Is there a fix for this?

From what I see you have 215 scheduled recordings, that seems excessive.
The page you are sharing with us, are those scheduled programmes supposed to happen within the next 7 days.
Before you did the Freeview Reset did you go through your recording schedule and delete scheduled recordings that are no longer relevant for example programmes you know are no longer broadcast.
If you do not delete scheduled recordings that are no longer broadcast you run the risk of the list becoming longer and longer so periodically go through the list and delete those items.
As you backed up your preferences (which include your recording schedule) prior to the Freeview Reset and then imported them back after the reset you have just imported back a lot of
these unnecessary recordings into your schedule.
The odd times I have used the import function I have found you need to give it plenty of time for them to fully import.
The screen may say they have been imported successfully, but it takes a while for them to repopulate the schedule. If you look too soon you will get invalid entries.
Yours could take some time as you seem to have over 200 entries. If any of those are ‘0’ entries then I would have deleted them before I did the export.
Thats a very good point you need to give time for the EPG to fully fill up for the next seven days before going in to the schedule.
