Can mbed be programmed remotely?

In order to provide remote technical support to users, is it possible to update the mbed binary from a remote location over the Internet?

I know this is a very old topic but you may be interested in my recent blog post and video on how to do remote firmware upgrade of an mbed using the LwM2M standard. See http://blog.benjamin-cabe.com/2015/07/08/remote-management-of-an-arm-mbed-device-using-lwm2m-wakaama-leshan.

I've done this over xbee wireless serial (with huge packet loss) so its possible over any connection, just a matter of transmitting and rebuilding the file on the Local Filesystem, making sure its the only binary (can change other binaries extension to keep backups) on the filesystem, then calling mbed_reset().

Is there firmware similar to this that runs under the new EthernetInterface drivers?
