Morning All
I now have now for the first time connected successfully my mac laptop to my VU+Solo 2 using the mac version of Filezilla that various forum members kindly recommended and would like to ask the forum for the following advice.
I am currently on Vix 142 and would like to update to the latest stable version of Vix 165? and understand that a re-flash is required when moving from 142 onwards which has been mentioned many times, doing this either via a correctly formatted USB stick or FTP (would like to try this option) using my mac/Filezilla connection direct to the VU+Solo2
Is the correct procedure as detailed below the correct method in which to proceed?
a) Download the image from www.openvix.co.uk and FTP it still compressed to /media/HDD/imagebackups/ I have a HD mounted within the VU+ then just drop the latest update file into this folder? (will it overwrite the existing version?)
b) Then press the blue button > ViX > image manager. Highlight the selected image that I intend to flash then press the blue button to flash / restore the chosen image.
I understand the above steps .......if correct that is but prior to doing this update or after performing this update do I need to safe guard any of my current settings or do I need to perform any type of backup, copy files, settings...so forth in order to continue without any technical issues, in other words am I missing any additional steps that I should be following?
Many thanks to all I am pleased that I am slowly moving forward and pleased that my laptop is now able to see the files on my VU Box.
Kind Regards
John
