any FTP server if you download the firmware on it first. The Cyclades FTP

Path and
File Name
The pathname of the software on the FTP server.
On the Cyclades FTP server, the directory is under pub/cyclades/
alterpath/KVMnet/released/version_number/filename,
where version_number is V_N.N.N., and N.N.N is the most recent
version number.
For example, 2.1.1. The filename includes the version number in the
following format: zImage_kvm_NNN.bin. The pathname for this
example would be:
pub/cyclades/alterpath/KVMnet/released/V_2.1.1/
zImage_kvm_210.bin
Go to ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/
alterpath/KVMnet/released in a browser, if needed, to verify the
correct pathname and file names for the software (zImage) for the KVM/
net.
