If you mount it (say, by a Device Manager), then FIleZilla Client will see it where it is mounted (see the attached screenshot).

 

I have done many a transfer like that.

 

Look:

On the left is my laptop and on the right is Red Eagle STB with an external HDD mounted as HDD and you can easily transfer stuff to and fro... :)

 

In my "A pretty thorough PBNIGMA II VX guide for Ferrari 500 HD by gorski_12.12.12" - on page 29 you have info as to how to work with FZC. Transfers are easy and they work, if they are not very fast...

 

You also have detailed info how to mount a device and so on...

 

If you really are worse than me :D maybe this can help... ;)

Yeee.... Transfer in configuration HD(ext4)-eSATA->STB(xtrend)-10GbLAN->PC(win7) is about 30-35MB/s. Direct connection via eSATA - over 70MB/s.

Is that a big problem or does it sort out your problem?

Yes. it's a big problem. Almost 6TB to remove from one HD to other needs about 24h nonstop (eSATA 70MB/s). And free zone decreases every day.
 I'd like to have speed, don't loose place and to have comatibility (windows). Yeee... It's a problem.. So Ive decided to use ext4 but without clusters (bigalloc).

Every night some 8 or so hours - not a problem... ;)

 

Free zone increases, night by night... :D

Is it only one 6TB big partition? Is it an always running NAS or something like that?

Several users in the past had problems with big ext4 partitions(1.5 TB and bigger) without bigalloc. Problem is that during first access after boot ext4 searches for free space on the disk. Unfortunately ext4 doesn't store the info on disk. So it has to search for free space which can take several seconds depending on how big the partition is. When a recording starts right after start from deep standby this can cause a buffer overflow(incoming data cannot be stored fast enough on disk because it searches for free space) and data is lost.

I've found for Windows Ext2Fsd (second, Disk Internal Linux Reader read only Ext2/3/4). It installs special driver and anyone can read/write in Ext2/3/4 from Windows2k ups . I've tried to copy (Win7, eSATA) movie (2048MB file TS) from prepared yesterday HD: 70MB/s. And back: 60MB/s. Attentione for another problem: XP doesn't serve GPT partition (even not on large HDs)!

And a little ass-shelter from author:

WARNINGS:
     The driver may crash your system and ruin your data unexpectedly,
    since there might be software conflicts and I could only test it
    on some of the popular platforms. You should use it with care and
    use it at your own risk!

My migration from NTFS to Ext4 needs copy 6TB data - about 36-48 hours non-stop... Great minus.

Great plus it's increase distance from Microsoft :P

As far as I know the best drivers for Windows are https://www.paragon-.../extfs-windows/

I forgot to mention: Win7 < - > Synology NAS (Linux) = no problem directly accessing/transferring etc. via Win Explorer!
