Updating the Drupal core is handled differently from updating the modules. This needs to be done by ssh into the server. Do everything in the test site before the main site!
(1) ssh into the server using the username and password from the Keepass database
(2) Download the new drupal core with wget (the link should be available if you navigate to http://iscbsc.org/admin/reports/updates and look at the core update)
(3) Untar the drupal core with tar -xzf <filename>
(4) Follow the instructions here: https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/update/core-option-3
If everything goes well, and nothing on the test site is broken, repeat everything for the main website.
