Repository description |
Specify the name of the repository.
|
Retrieve files from |
Select the location from which to retrieve
files. Default = HTTP repository.
- HTTP repository —
Retrieve files from the HTTP repository location that you designate.
Note: An HTTP site, like FTP, offers updating independent
of network security, but supports higher levels of concurrent connections than
FTP.
- FTP repository — Retrieve
files from the FTP repository location that you designate.
Note: An FTP site offers flexibility of updating without
having to adhere to network security permissions. FTP has been less
prone to unwanted code attach than HTTP, so it may offer better
tolerance.
- UNC path —
Retrieve files from the UNC path location that you designate.
Note: A UNC site is the quickest and easiest to set
up. Cross domain UNC updates require security permissions for each
domain, which makes update configuration more involved.
- Local
path — Retrieve files from the local path location that
you designate.
|

- HTTP —
Type the location for the HTTP server and folder where the update
files are located.
- FTP —

Path |
Available only if you selected UNC path or Local path.
- UNC path — Using
UNC notation (\\servername\path\), type the
path of the repository where the update files are located.
- Local
path — Type the path of the local folder in which you
have placed the update files, or click Browse to
navigate tot he folder. The path can be that of a folder on a local
drive or a network drive.

Available only if you selected HTTP repository or FTP repository.
Type the port number for the HTTP or FTP server you specified.

Use authentication
Use
anonymous login
Use logged on account
|
Use the specified credentials for accessing
the repository. Note: The title of this option
differs depending on which option you selected in the Retrieve
files from section.
The credentials you specify
are used by AutoUpdate to access the repository so that it can download the
required update files. When configuring the account credentials
on the repository, you ensure that the account has read permissions
to the folders containing the update files. - Download credentials
are required for FTP and UNC repositories, but are optional for
HTTP repositories.
- FTP updates support anonymous repository connections.
- With UNC updates you can also use the logged on account, making
use of the logged on user's permissions to access the repository.
