Manual Upgrade process - placing upgrade zip in patch directory

I was having issue uploading SuiteCRM-Upgrade-7.4.x-to-7.6.10.zip so I remoted to my server and placed it in the
…upload\upgrades\patch

The update then complained it could not find a manifest file.
So I copied it out of the zip and put it in …\upload\upgrades\patch

I then was able to continue updating, however it seems like the to directory for php files was defaulted to c:\php which does not exist.

So the update files were never copied as the they all errored out.

  1. Is there a proper way to manually place update files on the server so that the upgrade process will work?

  2. I then copied the php files to my root and it seems to have upgraded fine.

I would think the upgrade process should not be able to continue if the the TO DIR does not exist as well.

Thanks

I would like to know this too. I have been unsuccessful in uploading upgrade files even though I have modified the php.ini and the .htaccess to much larger default sizes.

Can anyone help please?
