I tried running firmware-upgrade-tftp firmware.tar 192.168.1.29 which did copy the file and try and run the upgrade but this is where it would fail due to read only restrictions preventing the upgrade.
So I found a command on the console to simply TFTP the .tar file to the /tmp folder on the WAC730. Then once it was in place I ran another script called firmware-upgrade or something like that pointing it at the newly copied firmware.tar file
