Content Share and ftp issues

[LegoJames]

Hi,

In the past I had content share and ftp options working, have transferred files from the HDR-2000T with no problems and used djmount tool to mount my HDR under Linux.

Today I went to connect (last time was 6 months+ ago) and when i run djmount command the HDR box resets itself about a second later.
I scanned the ports of the ip and can see that only ftp and telnet ports are open despite ftp and content share options both being on.

I can successfully connect using ftp but as soon as I "ls" the shell spends 1-2 minutes thinking about it before finally timing out.

I've tried disabling and enabling, restarting the box and nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

It's a bit drastic, but the next step is a "restore factory defaults" operation.

Could this be an active vs passive mode ftp problem?

Try issuing the command passive to ftp before doing the ls

@kevindickinson Tried enabling passive mode:

230 User logged in, proceed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
ftp> passive
Passive mode on.
ftp> ls
502 Command not implemented.
500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.
Passive mode refused.
ftp> ls

Rather than restore factory defaults you could try turning the ftp and content share off and then turn them back on. Often works for me when a gremlin gets in the network. Oops! Looking at your posts you might have tried this!
As far as I can tell the Humax 2000T ftp server doesn't accept the passive (PASV) command.
Under Windows ftp the command to list files on the Humax is dir not ls. Can't imagine it's the same for you, but worth a try. The LIST command might work.
When working (ftp and content share) and not connected to, my Humax - when probed - seems to have the following ports open:

nmap 192.168.1.10
