VDX6740 netinstall files?

[mewantstock]

Can anyone share the VDX6740 netinstall files, preferably for version 7.2? The Extreme support site has a doc that lists credentials to an FTP site that supposedly contain them. However, after logging in the directory is empty.

Make sure you're referencing the correct doc. Q A: How to perform netinstall on VDX 6740 and 6940 via USB? | Extreme Portal

I have the netinstall files but I'm running into a problem. I've tried it on two different switches and all goes smooth until I try to execute the install script. That's when I get this error:

bash-2.04# ./install release
bash: ./install: No such file or directory

The file is there though and has the correct permissions. I've tried recreating the USB stick a couple of times but that doesn't make any difference.

Need more command context before you ran install from the present working directory. From the URL, pay particular attention from steps 8 onward.

If you can reference the file using ls, less, or file, not using a wildcard, try bash install release. If that doesn't work, use a larger USB drive.
