Switching from ftp download site to s3Answered

Hi,

we have current version of app which has download and upload pointing to ftp server, now we want to switch to S3, we created new update which points to S3, but if we try to perform update, it seems that our current version is not aware of newly created update. I manage to fix this problem by running locally wyUpdate.exe -server="…s3" , but how to do it on client side?

Thanks for support.

You need to deploy an update with the updated sites (i.e. the newly built client.wyc with the new sites built into it).

Hi, thanks for quick response, but when I do update, client.wyc server-site is not changed only version number is changed. If I do fresh installation from this version(one which I want to update to) , then client.wyc file has s3 server-site, but update itself doesn't modify server-site.

You have to “re-build wyUpdate”, include the latest client.wyc as part of your update, then *after* the update is deployed to your customers will they begin using the new sites.

Rather than using temporary or ephemeral addresses, use domains that you own and do any DNS shenanigans you need to refdirect to whatever ephemeral storage solution you're using.

Hi,

I added client.wyc(I manually generated it and it is pointing to S3) to my app and in AutoUpdateNewVersionTemplate.xml I'm sourcing wyc file to location where app is installed, after this my current version(ftp server) was able to see new updates(S3). Is this what you are referring as well?

Thanks
