Ashish,

The upgrade from 1.1.5 to 1.6.x is supported though I haven't tested it with sftp. You will need to upgrade the existing virtual instance(s) as well.

Thanks,

Brett

Hi Ashish,

I was able to reproduce the installation issue that you¿re experiencing using the sftp protocol. The issue is that upgrading from the AXP 1.1.5 release to the 1.5.x or 1.6.x release will not work using the sftp protocol due to a bug in the 1.1.5 release. However, upgrading from 1.1.5 to later 1.5.x or 1.6.x releases does work using ftp or ftps. In my lab I tested upgrading from release 1.1.5 to 1.6.2 using ftp and ftps and saw no problems.

Thanks,

Brett
