If you have a cross over ethernet cable you can ftp the image across using smartftp. Just add the image into the var\tmp file. Then with your remote go into service, image upgrade, flash one partition, flash without bootloader

That is seriously BAD advice, m8! The image file (8,257,536 bytes) goes to the /tmp folder and nowhere else!!!

Were he to follow what you told him, only a small part of the image would transfer, the current image would be FULL UP and Read-Only- and he would almost certainly be faced with an IFA session...

Al, in most images (can't say all as I've not tried them all), /var/tmp is a symbolic link to /tmp so they are the same location.

That said though, it's good adivce to make sure you know where the image is being ftp'd into as /tmp is indeed the only location that can cope with that size of file.
