I have a slightly different problem. I have the upgrade link in my 2.7.1 dashboard but WordPress fails to connect to the ftp server. I checked all my login details 20 times, reset the ftp password – still nothing. I am connecting successfully to the same ftp server using Dreamweaver, so the login details are correct.
I upgraded 2 WordPress blogs from the same IP address. Could that be the culprit?
Thanks,
