Upgrading to 7 via FTP or Http

[anafshalom]

I have the dvd which I used to install Fc6. I used it to start up and entered:

linux text askmethod

I entered for ftp site: ftp.applios.net
folder: /pub/fedora/linux/release/7/Fedora/x86_64/os

after it asks for keboard and then searches for installation media I get this message:

Unalbe to read package metadata. May be due to a missing repodata directory. Please insure that your installation tree has been correctly generated. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository anaconda-base-200610172015.x86_64

I want to do this because I think it is possible--is it?
I also tried with Http method and entered ftp.linux.ncsu.edu Same folder as above. Same result.

No, you need the 7 dvd.

Updating through network works the same way as with the DVD, only the LiveCDs lack the upgrade option.
anafshalom, the path should have "releases" instead of "release". If that's just a typo in your posting, try a different mirror: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7/x86_64/

change the word release to releases that should take care of things
