Dell FTP not working
ftp.dell.com isn't working for updating poweredge servers anymore. Attempting to navigate to it on a browser (or downloads.dell.com) redirects to dell.com/support. We update all of our PowerEdges via ftp, and have used 143.166.135.76 (found via nslookup) instead of a URL before with success, but not this time. Is something going wrong on Dell's end, or have they pulled this down?

Hi, thanks for choosing Dell.
“Dell EMC has retired ftp.dell.com and transitioned exclusively to a global downloads site with regional hosted repositories .Feb 21, 2021”

Good to know, so how do I connect a PowerEdge server to one of these repositories via the Lifecycle controller to do updates?
