[Asterisk-Users] polycom IP 500/600

[John Baker]

So what?  You said you had ssh access.  Use ssh forward.

Here's another way.  Might work for you, I don't know.

You could easily setup a secure tunnel (think openvpn) to run your ftp 
server on locally.  That way you could keep all the configs in one place.

You could open the tunnel when it's time to update the phones and then 
have the phones use your local server as the ftp source.

You just reboot the phones remotely and close the tunnel once all the 
phones have updated.

With this method, run ntp on both sides so that the timestamp change 
thingy will work right.

Really, there must be a million ways to do this.  I think you're trying 
too hard.
