$ telnet ftp.vaio-link.com 21

telnet> q
Connection closed.
Are you using the Plusnet firewall (accessed from the Member Centre)? I think that blocks port 21
I guess you could try the downloads section of the Vaio Support web site for the updates you're looking for.

I'll try the telnet. I'm not using the PN firewall, only that built into the router. I've already tried the direct download route with no success.

How exactly do I use telnet?

I get this line and a flashing cursor below and nothing else happens,
220 spftp/1.0.0000 Server [213.248.114.178]
What does it mean?

If your firewall is still running it isn't blocking port 21.
Back to the drawing board on why your updates are failing, I guess

Worth checking if this is the case with your model (if you still have it).
