Overriding Download Site

Not sure if this has been asked and/or answered. I want to know if it's possible to change a download site after the fact. So I have deployed my first wyUpdate with my client (c# with the Updater plugin) and are doing update patches from time to time. Our FTP server address will be changing soon. How do I pass a new FTP address to the wyUpate utility. Ideally we would like to store this FTP address in the database as this might change again later on.

Thanks for the great product!

Hey Elmer,

I want to know if it's possible to change a download site after the fact.

Yes, change the site in wyBuild, rebuild wyUpdate and then include the newly built client.wyc in your next update.

Ideally we would like to store this FTP address in the database as this might change again later on.

If it's going to keep changing, you might be better off using a domain name you own. Or, if you can't do that, then you might find some use in either the -server="<url>" commandline switch or the %updatepath% variable and -updatepath commandline switch.

Thanks for the great product!

It's our pleasure. 🙂
