Any Platform - FTP Upgrade Instructions: You have only FTP access to your server and you want to upgrade your Discus or Discus Pro board (most common situation for customers of virtual website hosting).

Upgrade to Version 3.10 from Older Version: You have a Discus 3.01 (or before) board that you want to upgrade to version 3.10.

Unix - Telnet/SSH Upgrade Instructions: You have telnet, SSH, or console access to your server, and your server is running unix (linux, Solaris, irix, etc.), and you are upgrading your properly functioning Discus board to version 3.1.

Windows - Console Upgrade Instructions: You use a Windows machine as your web server, and you have the ability to sit down in front of that machine to type and run programs, and you want to upgrade your board. This is generally the case if you run your own server (e.g., your intranet's web server). This is almost never the case if your web site is hosted remotely.
