EWC firmware upload via http needed

[M_Nees]

Bringing new firmware to customers EWCs is very time-killing because always ftp server is needed.

Nearly all other commercial software systems providing a http interface for upload configuration and download current configuration. This should be default also on Extremes EWC.

In EWC this feature is missed since a long time and it would be needed.

If some agree with me suggestion - like this article.

Back in the good old days  it was possible to directly SFTP/FTP via a free app like CoreFTP into the controller and upload the software in the /var/controller/images directory.

I can't remember why that "function" was removed but I miss that feature a lot..... it was soooo easy to move SW via remote to the controller.

What i am wondering is that the half of the feature already exists - download of tech-support file! If development would enhance this feature with an upload mechanism all the work is done.

Software Updates or backups are easy than as on every other computer system.

That what 's i am wondering so much.

But maybe it is christmas time and development endow me (and all other ewc customers) that function ;-))

Is it too late to write a letter to the Christkind ?

I want the "clear log messages" button back....

Or, if you are using a physical box (even a VM), put the image on a USB drive. I have done that in the past.
