EMC connectrix DS-300B firmware upgrade

Hi

I have been trying to upgrade the firmware on a EMC connectrix DS-300B FC switch, but are not able to. I am logged in with the admin account, and

am using the 3CDeamon as my ftp server, on a Windows 2008 R2 box with the firewall turned off. It doesn't matter what I do, I keep on getting the

following error (the very same one every time):

"The server is inaccessible or firmware path is invalid. Please make sure the server name or IP address, the user/password and the firmware path

are valid."

The FC switch and the Windows 2008 R2 box are on different networks, but there are no firewalls in between, and there is full connectivity

between the two VLAN's. I do the normal administration of the FC switch from this same Windows 2008 R2 box.

A couple of questions:

1. Do I need to be logged in as root in order to do the firmware upgrade ?, I have used the admin account.

2. I have the firmware located on a Windows 2008 R2 box with the firewall turned off, and are using the 3CDeamon FTP server, but are very unsure

if I'm getting the file location correct. I have used the following file path's and more, but it has had no effect at all.

/v6.4.3c

\v6.4.3c

/x.x.x.x/v6.4.3c

\x.x.x.x\v6.4.3c

\\x.x.x.x\v6.4.3c

3. Since Windows are using back slashes, and Unix/Linux and therefore FOS is using slashes, what does the installation require, slashes or back

slashes ?.

Does anyone have any idea as to where I go wrong ?. I have also

Unfortunately I am not the one that originally installed the EMC connectrix DS-300B switch, so I have no idea if the root password was set during

the initial configuration, or if it was set at all. Does anyone know what the default root password is for this switch ?.

I found a support site from Brocade where it mentioned that the default root password was either "password", or "fibranne", but none of them works unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
