@servicetech: you are using an older build; wget ftp support is not enabled in current releases AFAIK, but wget http (not https) support is still functional.


Good to know, OP is using build 40559 then both should work as long he has DNS / Internet Access working on his shell?

Yes, the loss of wget ftp functionality is fairly recent. Sorry for the delay in reply.

Glad you got it sorted. You should be able to flash updates from the webUI from this point forward or use CLI wget or sftp / scp method.
