Additional comments

On Components Joomla Update there is definitely no tab or button that can be used to upload the update package.
see attached 1st img above

1st Step alternative fails too: update to J!v3.5.1 via Extension Manager by "Install from URL"

There is no need for a step between updates. You can do a direct update using the normal update component.

BTW. The last error indicates that there is not transport driver for downloading a package. Please contact your host to enable curl on the server. Please use the forum if you have more questions. https://forum.joomla.org/

Closing as server issue ;) (missing transport driver ;))

The hoster is not willing to enable transport driver :((

The hoster is not willing to enable transport driver :((

If there is no transport driver (e.g. curl) there is no way that joomla can connect to the update server to check for and update and download the package.

I suggest to change the hoster than.

A workarround could be the folowing.

https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Upgrading_from_Joomla_3.4.x_to_3.5 but this should not be a constant solution just a short time workarround.

That's what I am looking for! Did not find it yet.
The affected site is for testing only.
A producting site will be hosted elsewhere.
