R7960P firmware not upgrading
I have attempted multiple times to upgrade my current firmware, V1.4.1.44_1.3.5, to V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and it fails. I have tried letting the router update itself and also downloading upgrade zip file ...
I've done both the Check for new version from the Internet and Locate and select the upgrade file on your hard disk methods and they act like they're successful but I'm still stuck on V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 .... I've done a power-off for 5 minutes of no avail. Using ncftp, a "pwd" showed the location: ftp://updates1.netgear.com ... I tried "put R7960P-V1.4.1.66_1.3.26.chk" and got "server said: Permission denied." It appears that the partition doesn't have write permissions.

"Using" _how_, exactly? To do what, exactly?
> [...] a "pwd" showed the location: ftp://updates1.netgear.com ...
"FTP" and "TFTP" are spelled differently for a reason.
You seem to be trying to send a firmware file to a Netgear corporate
FTP server, _not_ to your own router, using FTP, _not_ TFTP. Wrong
destination, wrong protocol.> [...] I tried "put R7960P-V1.4.1.66_1.3.26.chk" and got "server said:
> Permission denied." It appears that the partition doesn't have write
> permissions.Yes, Netgear probably doesn't want every confused person with an
Internet connection to be storing files on its FTP server(s). This does
not amaze me. You seem to be out of your depth.
In the words of the philosopher Williams, "If you don't think too
good, don't think too much."Are you the resident snooty smart ass?

As we said when _I_ was a child: Better smart than dumb.
Disregard my previous post ... It should read

Yep... That's what mine is at.
