iDRAC Update and Restore does only allows single update location
I am trying to update the servers at my new job and the iDRAC are acting a little funny to me. The server I am testing with is an R630 with an iDRAC 8 controller. I have manually updated the iDRAC firmware to 2.81.81.81. The BIOS to 2.8.0. and the Lifecycle Controller Firmware to 2.81.81.81.
This server is running an ESXi host.
When I log into the iDRAC and click on Update and Rollback all I get is the option to update from a single local file location and asks me for the file path. I do not get the options to update from ftp, http, https as I am use to from my previous job. Is this a licensing issue since it is is an Express license or is this something else?

Repository update (update from ftp, http, https etc.) is an enterprise license feature. You need to have enterprise license to get that feature enabled. You can refer below link on details on iDRAC licensing and supported features.
