Today I downloaded an update package and copied it to a USB flash drive. My iFly 700 didn't recognize that there was an update package to install. I tried copying the file to the flash drive again, with the same result. Then I tried another flash drive and the package installed normally.

Looking more closely at the flash drive to try to figure out what had happened, I discovered that the 1st drive was formatted as NTSF (not sure how that happened) while the 2nd was FAT-32.

So just a heads up to everyone: make sure your flash drives aren't formatted as NTFS.
