This and 2 more cases

• were fixed in J3.6.1

See here:
b7b37ce

#11325

So you should be able to update from J3.6.1 to J3.6.2 or later version when using FTP (?and PHP 7?)
but it seems that you can not update with FTP active from J3.6.0 to J3.6.1 ?

Maybe apply the patches manually ?

thanks, I changed the first one, now I get:
35 JFTP: :append: Unerwartete Antwort

Try getting new Joomla Update Component
(click download link in the description)
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/releases/tag/3.6.1

Someone with better knowledge on upgrading sites that use JClientFtp should comment

[jojo12]

this I uploaded and installed before my problems

[ggppdk]

So you

• need FTP layer to be active (i mean if you do not then disable it and upgrade)
• a question (since you patched files, and still it does not work) have configured it properly ?

Can you change title of this thread to ?:

Can not upgrade to J3.6.1 if FTP layer is active

Can not upgrade to J3.6.1 if FTP layer is active

There isn't anything that can be done at a code level without providing something installable via the extension manager. The bug blocking this was fixed in 3.6.1, yes, but the only way to get there if you need to use the FTP layer would be to manual update or install a special package into the extension manager (assuming that's actually functional with the FTP layer enabled) with the needed revisions to make an update possible.

I am going to close this based on the comments above - nothing we can do
