File Share

Hello,

I am trying out the wyBuild product for automatic updates and am wondering if we can host the update and install files on a file share? On the screen for "Upload the Updates" it appears that it must be hosted on a web server. My application is onlt installed locally inside a firewall and currently we do not have an intranet setup. Can this be done just using a file server?

Thank,Colin

yes you can just use \\what ever your ip\yourupdatefolder\%file% or if you have ftp access yuo can use ftp://user:pass@yourip/yourupdatefolder/%file%

wyBuild supports uploading updates to FTP & SFTP sites, but you can upload files using any files transfer utility. Also you can download from any of the following site types (see the step-by-step walkthrough):

  • http://
  • ftp://
  • file://
  • https://

So, in your case you should use this as your download site:

file:///path/to/local/file/share/%file%

Tell me if this helps.

I realized that you only need to "Upload the Updates" if you are updating from a web server etc. I go it to work.

Thank you.
