NComputing L300s can download and apply firmware updates from FTP servers located virtually anywhere in the world. This document describes how use FTP to update L300 firmware across LAN subnets or over the WAN.
You’ll need access to (or you can setup from scratch) a properly configured FTP server. Essentially any FTP server that supports user accounts will work.
The latest versions of L-series vSpace for Windows store L300 firmware update files in the following directories:
vSpace 4 hosts have firmware files in:
C:\Program File\Common Files\NComputer
vSpace 6 hosts have firmware files in:
C:\Program Files\NComputing\NComputing vSpace\Bootsrv
Perhaps the easiest way to set up the needed FTP environment is to simply add a Windows FTP server onto one of your vSpace hosts.
NComputing doesn’t recommend any one FTP server as better than another. However, this document’s NCconsole section has an example that uses FileZilla Server configured to perform the firmware update role. (FileZilla Server is an open source community project.)
OBSERVAÇÃO: Your FTP server’s default file transfer type MUST be set to “binary mode.” Since the installation default for many FTP server products is “ASCII mode,” you may need to make a setup modification on your chosen server.
If you wish to use an FTP server that’s completely separate from your vSpace hosts, you’ll need to copy the following four files from the appropriate vSpace 4 or 6 host directory over to the USERID’s configured default folder on your FTP server:
Index.txt
Index2.txt
l300_FW_ver_n_n_n_n.tar.gz (where n can be 0 through 9)
l300_FW_ver_n_n_n_n.tar.gz (where n can be 0 through 9)
