Update Wyupdate download link and password

Hello,I just realized that the error message for the automatic updater shows the ftp username and password. I read somewhere in the forum that a public ftp site should be used. I have created a different ftp site but I need to know how I can update wyupdate's files on client computer to use new download site. That is, after they download the newest version, their be configured to check for updates in the new download location.

We mention how to do this in passing in the "What does the "client.wyc" file contain?" frequently asked question.

The process is something like this:

  1. Change anything that's in client.wyc (in your case the download sites)
  2. Click the "Build wyUpdate" button.
  3. Add the generated "client.wyc" file to your new version (both within your wyBuild project and within your installer).
  4. Make sure every new version in wyBuild includes the latest client.wyc file (ditto for your installers).

We're going to make this easier in the future (that is, wyBuild will automatically do this for you).

Tell me if this helps.

That helped! Thanks for your prompt response.

+1 to "in future, wyBuild will do this automatically for you" 🙂
