ftp upload of upgrade package

hi folks
is it possible to upload the upgrade.zip (from sugar 6.5.x to suiteCRM Upgrade) by ftp instead using web ui?
it seems as if i am running into some kind of timeout at my hosters sugar instance.
please help
cheers

No, you have to upload the upgrade package using the upgrade wizard within the CRM to actually be able to upgrade your system.

I would discuss with your host to increase the session/query timeout.

Thanks,

Will.
