How about doing away with the ftp server and giving the software an ftp client instead. Let the CPE check for new updates and display the latest available version next to the currently installed version. Then when you go to the upgrade menu the unit could download the latest firmware for you and install it all in one shot. I use Phpwebsite software on one of my servers and when you log in to the admin menu it tells you the latest upgrade available along with the current version so I know this can somehow be done. I think this would be a very nice addition to the software. Thanks

How about an upgrade engine that can download the image from its master and can also upload to its clients?

That sounds pretty good as well :)

I really like this idea. We're deploying enough of these now that anything that streamlines the maintainence of the units sounds great.
