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.
1) EMC isn't free = not every customer has one
2) why should I load the software to EMC so I'd load it to the controller in another step.... sure if I've 100 EWCs in the customer network that is a nice feature but unfortunately I don't have customers with that kind of infrastructure. For just a controlller pair it's easier to load it directly.
Yes, it is a good feature request. Although via ExtremeManagement the software update supported by drag-n-drop/upload from local pc function (see the Firmware secrion under Devices in ExtremeManagement)
Matthias,
you can use SCP as well for Software updates on the EWC.
This can also be done per Inventory Manager. Which use the script SCP function.
An Software update via HTTPs file transfer can be added as Feature Request.
