Update wizard or from a local FTP server or from a local USB device or Dell
Server Updates DVD.
NOTE: Make sure that the catalog file and DUPs that are downloaded from
ftp.dell.com, are copied into the root folder of the source.

FTP Server
Select FTP Server to download updates from the configured FTP server
using the
Platform Update wizard. Enter the appropriate information
according to the method you are using to access the FTP server.
FTP Authentication
USC supports anonymous login by authenticating the blank username, a
password of your choice, and the FTP server address with the FTP servers
in order to download the catalog information. If you use a firewall, you
should configure it to allow outgoing FTP
traffic on port 21. The firewall
must also be configured to accept incoming FTP response traffic.
To download updates by using a proxy server to access the FTP server,
you
must specify:
• Address — The IP address of the local FTP server or ftp.dell.com .
• User Name — The user name to access the FTP location.
• Password — The password to access this FTP location.
• Catalog Location or Update package path — The specific
location/sub-directory where the catalog resides.
NOTE: If the catalog file and DUP are downloaded from ftp.dell.com, do
not copy them into a sub-directory.
