    Maishy. Do you mean directly to the camera? If so, I would doubt that you can.
    AFAIK - from doing this quite a few times over the years - cameras are "programmed" to look for
    firmware update files in the root directory of their storage media (mine, a mix of SD and CF cards).

    So basically I would:
    1. Download from site to computer.
    2. Copy file (after running a good security check over it) to appropriate storage card...
    - you can either hook the camera to computer by USB cable, or put the card into a card reader...
    - paste the copied file straight onto the drive letter - eg, say "E: Pentax"...
    3. Put card into camera and switch on, then find your firmware update menu and follow it.

    NOTE: the process can take a few minutes, and my camera settings WARN me to make sure I have a full battery
    before proceeding, so that it doesn't crash out and - &%*&*^#*(&40(*& - who knows what?!

    Ie, it's a cakewalk.

    - - - Updated - - -

    PS: The update file does not take up much space, and you can delete it later if it's a problem.
